I am getting an AFPR for my 305TPI, and I see that this fuel pressure gauge is listed for 85-92 TPI cars - where exactly does it go? And also, it is a permanent installation, right?



I would very much appreciate it if someone could educate me a bit on the procedure for setting the fuel pressure.

Thanks a lot!!

It screws onto the schrader(sp) valve on the fuel rail. Yes it is a permenant piece. i have one but do not like it because it jumps around too much.

 

Okay, I see - so, what is the better alternative??

Isn't it possible to mount them elsewhere int he engine compartment?

 

This type is permanent. It would have to be re-plumbed to move it somewhere else. Besides, mine works great where it is. For WOT tuning, an electric kockpit mount is the way to go.

Here's a pic of mine:
