I bought an Intellitronix digital fuel pressure gauge with sender for my 89 TPI. The sender has Delco stamped on it and appears to have something like 1/4" NPT threads on it. To my dismay, the Schrader valve on the fuel rail screws into a tiny little hole, so I can't mount the sender in place of that valve. Does anyone have this set-up and can recommend where to mount this sender? Somebody posted on an AutoMeter gauge. How did that sender mount? What are the threads on the Schraeder valve that the gauge hooks to? Maybe I can use a right angle fitting for my sender?

 

Steve,

I'll guess there was supposed to be some sort of installation kit with the sender, although it may have been an option. I know the Schrader valve base is NOT ¼NPT, but I don't know what size it IS. I would guess that you would need some sort of angled fitting, since the space is pretty limited above the Schrader valve. Unless the sensor is really small, you would have a tough time mounting ang connecting to the sensor. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

 

I have the exact guage mounted in my car. There is NO installation kit. You need to just buy the appropriate parts to mount it up yourself. Unfortunately, mine is mounted on my MiniRam's fuel rail. In any case - here are the parts I used to mount to my MiniRam's fuel rails...

I used a 90º female -04AN to female -04AN tube from Earl's (actually from Summit).
I then bought a 1/4" tube (male) to 1/8" NPT (female) adapter at poop boys.
