Well I found a fuel pressure gauge for 40 bucks and would like to know how I should hook it up so I can keep tabs on my fuel pressure. I am also going to get a boost gauge and downpipe (Lol I got paid :P)

 

To the stock fuel system? I don't know, I have mine on the electric fuel system's regulator.

 

That's not a good idea on the stock fuel system.
The pulses will destroy even a good liquid filled gague. And besides, it pulses so badly you won't be able to read what the fuel pressure is anyway.

 

Instead of fuel gauge, get a Pyrometer, trans temp, and boost...

 

I hooked my fuel pressure gauge into the test port on the rear of the fuel bowl. It's been working just fine for a couple years now.

 

I put a liquid filled one on the cowl of my truck. It does still pulsate a lot probably ranges 15-20 psi but does give me an Idea of where it is.

 

Well I am going to go with a Boost, Fuel and Oil pressure gauge on the dash and a Pyro and Tranny Temp on the A pillar. Just gathering parts.

 

when you get a chance, post a pic of the cowl mount guage.

 

Definitely nothing pretty or fancy, kind of a throw back to the 60's


Here is the connection at the shrader valve location

 

I hooked up some plumbing to where the Schroeder valve was. I kept it on a T-fitting and ran the other end through a hose to the firewall. There I have a fuel separator that connects to another line filled with coolant that runs to a DiPricol pressure gauge on my A-pillar. Looks great and I can stare at the gauge while I drive. Okay, the pyro is the only one I care about. The others are mostly just info and they look cool. Gotta get more...

 

An electrical sending unit attached to the schrader valve location will act as a damper for the fluctuation and will give you a calm reading inside the cab. I have had my fuel gauge hooked up for over two years and it's "Steady as she goes".

Like this one?

 

Well, this is the one that I used but, that's not to say that they are not the same or similar. They do appear to differ in design.

Okay I was looking at a electric one (I should have verified, sorry guys) so an electric fuel pressure gauge should be fine? Cause if so I will order it here soon.

 

If your going to mount the gauge inside the cab it is a MUST that the sender & gauge be electrical. If it is to be mounted else where than you an use tubing/pressure hose.
