I'd like to get a fuel pressure gauge to hook it up to my TBI in the engine compartment, if the price is right I might go for one that goes inside the car but I'm thinking the later might be pricy.
It would be really cool if I could get a pressure sender with analog output like 0 to 5V or something like that.
Oh, so many toys so little time and money.....

D.

 

Yeah is there a fuel pressure gauge we can get so I can tune my fuel pressure accurately?

 

I got from summit new stainless tubing and bent and flared new fuel lines for mine and worked in a guage into the feed line, here is the thread.

Or get a guage with two barbed fittings on it and cut a peice out of you steel fuel line and get some high pressure fuel hose and use the rubber hose peices to connect the steel lines to the barbed fittings on the guage.

 

Try here: TBI FP Gauge Adapter

 

Man, that's almost $40 for the adapter and $27 for the gauge. Ouch!

 

I'm using Autometer's electric 0-15psi gauge. Cost $125 when I bought it when they first came out. Just over $200 now,wow! You could do a mechanical version using their isolater kit, just use the tech article as a guide.

 

where did you mount the sender?

 

I actually spliced a fitting into the fuel inlet hose. Barbed on each end and a female fitting in the middle for the sender.

 

I'm use an Actron universal FP gauge (detachable type) that came with an inline adapter /w a shraeder valve on it. I think I paid $25 for it off of Ebay. according to the papers that came with it additional adapters are $5 from Actron.

do the 3rd gen TBI's use braided lines like my 88 truck or hard lines like the later TBI trucks?
