fuel pressure gauge help...asap
I'm getting ready to install my electric fuel pressure gauge i just got the other day and opened the box and found nothing to connect the sender to the fuel rail. Whats the best way to go about this and what parts did u use, where did u get it and what was the part numbers. Thanks for your help guys.

Here's a link to a post I made on this very thing.

What gauge do you have, Autometer?
It's fairly simple. You also have to decore the schrader valve. The centre section of the valve unscrews and becomes an open fitting.
Hope you get it sorted.

you can go the easy way but it'll require buying a kit from summit. go to summit and do a search for "fuel pressure kit" or something like that. its a kit that says its for their guage but its universal. something like 20 bucks. comes wiht about 2 feet of braided hose with fittings, and a few other universal fittings.
when you get it, decore your schrader valve just like the guy above me said. be sure to release the pressure on the schrader valve first, do this carefully and it'll take a little bit of time.
the fittings on the braided hose are 4an, so hook one end onto the schrader valve and hook a 4an -> 1/8 NPT onto the othe rend. then hook the 1/8 NPT onto your sender. badda bing, badda boom. costs you a little more money but it makes things a little easier.
