I just came across this as I was cruising aimlessly. It's a fuel pressure guage that screws in directly to the throttle body.

Opinions?

Thats pretty slick. I would worry about being able to hook up the hard fuel lines. They are hard enough to attach in stock form no less having that in the way. It may also come pretty close to the distributor. Seems like it would be hard to read. I could see it working if you have soft fuel lines.

I think it's meant to replace the feed line adapter already going into the throttle body.... yeah, it is... it looks like it's a little longer.. but.. not that much longer. Might have to massage a fuel line.. distributor should be safe.

Gauge is seperate.

$39.95 for just the adapter!?!? Holy carp. For that price it should come with a shrader valve and cap, 3ft of hose, and a pressure gauge.

my moroso in-line adapter was 19.95 (+ 3.00 for clamps), and it doesn't have the second npt port. with that, you can have both an underhood and an in-car gauge. besides, i think that's a cooler place to mount the gauge. i think it's worth the money ... i'm ordering one.

and holy carp? what is that, a religious fish?
