fuel pressure gauge opinions

I have been looking around for a fuel pressure gauge kit. I want to put it inside the car, probably on the pillar. I know its not a complicated install but still could use some ideas. Also I don't feel like buying all the components seperatly. Anyone know if there are any kits available? Its for a 350 TPI with AFPR. Thanks guys.

I got a Nordskog digital gauge. I had to plum the sender into the fuel rail. Really a simple install. It's clean. The sender is under the plenum so it's not seen.

Don't remember if it was ~60 or ~100 bucks. It's been in for a couple of years. It's accurate to within 1 pound vs my mechanical.

Re: fuel pressure gauge opinions

I got mine from Autometer. I'm using the Sport Comp 2 electric and it comes with pretty much everything. I added a 90 degree swivel fitting at the fuel rail and a 12" braided line to get the sending unit off the engine. The gauge kit was $195. Stewart Warner makes one as well but I don't know how complete it is.

Re: fuel pressure gauge opinions

I bought a cyberdyne since I wanted digital and it was red led and cheap and had recall. Below 30 psi it is +-5 psi, above that it is +-2 psi so Im not very happy with it and I have found nearly all of these cyberdyne models are that way.
