Which Pressure Gauge?

I want to get a Autometer Fuel Pressure gauge for my car. Which once should I get 0 - 15 psi, or 0 - 100 psi? I'm guessing the 0 - 15. and this would be installed before or after the regulator? Thanks

I'd find a 0-30. And yes it will go before the TBI units regulator.

Who makes a 0 - 30 psi fuel pressure gauge thats electrical (Not mechanical).. All Autometer has is 0-15 and 0-100..

I don't think you can get nothing but a 15# or a 100# guage. You know that you can get a fuel pressure isolator and use a mechanical guage without risk of running a fuel line in the passenger area of the car,just a thought for ya.

Are the electric gauges digital or needle type? If you don't mind a digital meter look into www.nordskogperformance.net or Dekota digital guages.
