Fuel pressure gauge
What does a guy have to do to get a good fuel pressure gauge these days. I have been through 2 since putting on my pressure regulator for the Edelbrock carb. The first one rattled apart and the second one failed in about 100 miles. The second one was on a while but the truck wasn't being run much due to body work and painting being done. Second one was Fuelab. Any suggestions for a decent one? Thanks in advance.

Set the pressure and then take it off and put a plug in the hole. You don't really need it except during initial setup. I have used a regular air pressure gauge just for temp testing purposes. And then I take it off.
I would guess you will have to buy the high dollar racer brand stuff to get something that will last.

They just dont last for any brand Ive seen/tried. Mine I will keep on till it starts to leak but I do plan on installing an 0 - 100 psi electric pressure sensor in its place to read fuel pressure on my dash while driving.
