I tried to find where to buy just that fitting that will screw on the metal inlet line so I can get whatever gauge I want but I can not find it. I really need it asap to see if my fuel pump is the culprit or what..

Thats perfect, I wonder if it's cheaper anywhere else.. I don't have the money now but I will in about a week so hopefully he still has em if I can't find it somewhere cheaper.

Here is a cheap kit http://www.amazon.com/Actron-CP7817-...038790&sr=1-12

 

Anyone find JUST the adapter locally?

 

Very unlikely. Maybe in a big metro area. I had to mail-order mine, because I'm in the back end of nowhere.

I'm pretty sure I bought this one:

...and then you (like me) can buy a different schrader fitting to screw into a regular fuel pressure gauge.

Otherwise it only screws into the Actron TBI pressure gauge, due to smaller thread size.

I found schrader fittings on eBay, had to buy a dozen or something. I've got plenty of extras.

So, yeah, if you don't have a fuel pressure gauge already, you might as well buy the package from Actron.

 

That's what I have. Great gauge

 

for anyone looking for a gauge with the adapter


bought that one because i have an RS and an IROC so i needed a higher PSI gauge to work with both, it comes with everything you will need to test on just about any car, at about the same price

 

Great info, im about to buy this kit for my ebl tuning. quick question, were you able to get your stock fuel line into that adapter with no/little problems? or was it a b i t c h. thanks

 

Put the T between the rubber and hard line, front driver side of engine bay, fit with no issues, do not try to install at the throttle body as it was too harsh of a bend and I nearly made my line useless before I realized it was not a good idea

 

I figured it wouldn't work behind the TB. I don't have any rubber lines on my car there all metal, but I'm guessing you mean the ones coming from the fuel tank. So that location reads pressure correctly? Just want to make sure you don't have to be right behind the FPR. How did you kill fuel/ fuel pressure to that line? One Time I opened that location to make sure I was getting gas, it flooded out super quick and almost filled a 32 oz cup

 

you definitely have two rubber fuel lines in the engine compartment, one is feed the other return on a TBI motor

follow the hardlines from the back of the throttle body, the one closest to the driver side is your feed line, follow it to the front of the engine and behind the alternator, you will see where it has about a foot of rubber line that connects the engine hard lines to the body hard lines, this is the location, its close enough to the fpr that it reads fine

 

Holy crap man! your right lol. i never noticed those right there, i guess i didnt realize they were rubber when i disconnected it years ago. Any who thank you for the advice. So you mean right here

 

Exactly

 

Thanks once again!! How long have you had yours and how accurate/well does it work?

 

No problem

Had the adapter on since last fall, driven maybe 200 miles so far with it on, no issues with it, the reading is as accurate as I need it to be, consistently reads just over 10 psi with the car running

 

So you left this fitting permanently installed then?

 

You can if you want. I personally didn't simply because I wanted to get a cap for the Schrader valve that the gauge connects too.

 

Yes sir, I would like to cap the Schrader valve, but I haven't had a leak yet, it's an easy testing point, I also plan on installing an electronic fp gauge in the cabin, this will be a good hookup point, I will probably put thread sealant on it if I leave It on much longer

 

Detailed Pictures of Kit for anyone looking for some actual pictures. I couldnt find any user pictures before purchasing. Looks and feels like a quality item. Installing tonight, will update with results.

 

Thanks guys. Looks like a nice piece of equipment.

 

Finally got to installing the T fitting. the job all together was less than 20 mins haha worst part was crawling under the car to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay whatever it is above the rear end.

I took pressure, shes reading at 11PSI!!! this 350 is getting starved!!! lol 61PPH at 11 PSI.... damn
