Believe me, man... I'm gonna put one on as soon as I can afford it.

Shucks... the top of the regulator housing stripped out on me while I was adjusting my regulator. Got a new Aeromotive on the way! Was actually able to rig it temporarily... took the top off and put a nut on the inside of the housing to hold the main adjusting screw tight and then worked like crazy to get the top on while compressing the spring and trying not to screw up the gasket.

Can't find an adapter to go from a Schrader valve to something else... anybody know of one? Or, are there other fittings that'll accomplish the same thing?

My fuel pressure gauge has the adapter for the schrader valves. Did you buy a FP gauge?

Yeah, bought a Russell... maybe this one will be better. I have a Schrader valve, just having a hard time finding a fitting that'll go from a Female Schrader to something else I can work with...
