does anyone know where i can buy good billet aluminum oil and fuel filter replacement caps , that are tapped on the top for a guage port? for the 6.0.............

 

Oilguard.com ,They are great quality ann they have a fitting on top.

 

Saw a guy selling them on ebay, Fuel, Oil, or both. He also had a nice bracket for running the Amsoil Oil By pass filter.

 

toolman can i buy just the aluminum oil and fuel filter caps from oil guard or do i have to buy an oil system from them to get the caps? i have seen that guy on ebay i dont know that i trust the quality of his caps....anyone know anywhere else i can get these caps?

 

Go to oilguards web site, They sell parts separately, No fuel cap though.

 

i went to oil guard and could not find just the oil cap for sale, if u found it there how much was it?

 

if i was to install a aluminum fuel filter cap that is tapped for a guage, would that be a good place to get a fuel pressure reading? can i use a regular air/water 0-60psi guage for fuel pressure readings ? will it make a difference fuel pressure reading where i put the guage , on the fuel filter cap on top of the motor or fuel filter cap on the frame rail?

 

SW, I guess you have to give them a call to get one from OilGuard, They have them listed on Amsoil web site for $126.70 plus shipping though. Part # there is BK1101. Ebay cap is $80 and ships free. I bought their fuel cap and Quality looks good but have not installed it yet. I'm waiting till my next filter change.

 

Yes OilGuard...damn good ones too~

 

go to the contact info on their website and give them a call and they will sell you the caps. for some reason they took them off their site.hope this hrlps.

 

ok i will call oil guard and see what they say, and i might get the one off of ebay since its $45 cheaper, does anyone know where i can get both aluminum fuel filter caps? and is the fuel filter cap a good location to get a fuel pressure reading? do i need a 0-30psi or a 0-60psi guage? does it have to be a special fuel gauge or just oil resistant gauge?

 

IMO I would take pressure from the side of the bowl where the regulator spring is...my buddy bought a kit for his that allowed him to adapt it out to a 1/8 npt shrader type valve which from there any fuel pressure guage will read. if it was me i would remove this plug drive down to your local hydraulic fitting store or home depot and adapt it out. then run your guage from there. cost maybe 5 bucks and the whole set up with a autometer guage will cost you about the same as what you were gonna pay for a fancy cap. as for oil pressure you should get a good reading from the cap i would drill a hole and tap it for a fitting...and keep my stock cap. On my 04 the way i set up my boost guage was remove the old IC pipe drill a hole and insert the fitting...that way ford doesnt get excited when they see all this nice shinny stuff.

 

so i can get a good fuel pressure reading from the top of the fuel filter cap? i am just gonna mount a gauge under the hood on the fuel filter cap and leave it....where do i get a fuel guage that has male threads sticking out of it? do i need 0-100psi?

 

The one on ebay sells the cap with a guage if you want.

 

you could give it a try i dont see why you couldnt get pressure from there not sure how much of a drop your gonna get taking it from the bowl vs. the side of the bowl. try summitracing.com they have about everything..and 0-100psi is more than enough....the only thing i hear about mounting a guage like that is problems due to vibration....
