anyone running an electric fuel pressure guage?

i'd like to see how you have it the sending unit plumed if possible.

 

Jeff,

I removed the schader valve out of the test port on the fuel rail, hooked a 90degree -4an line to it, ran that to the sender, which i mounted on the firewall, then ran the wire inside the car. (in the pic you can see the braided line and fitting.

 

yes

 

you guys have a pic of the sender?

i have all the stock pieces that are inside the car still together, however after the swap i lost track of where the actual mechanic parts where and they were never labeled. trying to pick them out of a huge box of parts is rather difficult since i forgot what it looks like.

thanks for the pics guys!!

 

damn I went out took it apart took pictures downloaded, deleted those I didnt need and saved the one that hides it. anyhow what I used was:

• 1/8 NPT female to 1/8 NPT female union (brass)
• aeroquip 90 degree male 1/8 npt to male -4 (steel)
• earls -4 female to -4 female straight union (aluminum)
• removed the schrader's core

I went outside and took off my map and bracket took pictures and downloaded it and deleted the rest and did the wrong one (above) But I drew this awsome picture of it:

 

..

This what ya need?

 

thank you very much for taking the time!!

 

Got a few questions....

1~ How hard was the install? Because Im interested in doing a electric fuel pressure guage in my car. But if its really tough..I'll opt for the mechanical one (and yes get the isolator as well)

2~ Do any of you guys have the part #'s handy for this?

Thanks...

Dan

 

well if you can understand basic electrical setups you shouldn't have a problem. it's much nicer having it in the car so that it's easy to read however sometimes i wonder it's accuracy.

 

My autometer setup is PN#. 5763

thanks for the TPl383 but I was looking for part #'s for what B4Ctom1 listed... Im assuming you need teflon tape when you "plum" this stuff together right?? Also when you buy the fuel pressure guage do you get the sender with it or is that seperate?

Dan

 

TTT...Hate to be a pain but Im having trouble finding part#'s for the stuff I mentioned before.... Can anyone help me?

TIA

Dan

 

best bet is to pick up a summit catalog and just see what you want. Everyone may have something diff that you might not like the way it was done.

But heres a run down from the list above

This is how I ran mine. with a 90* swivel end off the shrader

 

thanks for the part numbers TPl383. Do you have to put teflon tape on the threads (for the fittings)??

Dan

 

ttt..

 

don't use teflon tape for anything. all those fittings will go together perfectly without it and the particles on it can clog things.

 

ok thanks for the info nightrider87....

I thought that a liquid pipe sealant might be good, but I guess you're not supposed to use anything... here's a tech tip from the Aeroquip web site:

TPl383,
Where did you get that pre fabed fuel line?

 

Not pre fab. I make it myslef.

 

i have a question that has something to do with this... in the not too distant future i'll be installing an FMU... i was reading bout the vortec SFMU, and they said you didn't need the stock reg. at all, so first whats the proper way to get rid of it and adapt the SFMU? secondly once i do this it would be very easy to put a fitting for the elec FP gauge in the lines for the SFMU right?
