It looks awesome...you did a fine job, grasshopper!! Love the Hugger Orange! Just be careful...Boomhauer (Brandon) is probably going to yell at you for not painting the base, too...he bitched me out for it!

2000blackta: That looks to me like the f/p gauge that Nate (Nasty) supplies with his kit...

Yeah, I thought that it looked like it. I wish that I would have ordered one when I got my rails. I'll get around to it eventually

I, personally, wasn't a fan of that particular gauge, so I bought an Autometer one with a silver face and an Earl's adapter fitting from Summit...

That looks like something professionally done! It looks amazing! Excellent work, and I can tell you put a lot of thought and labor into it. Keep up the great work man!

Thanks again for all the kinds words, I got the injectors in now, the throttle cable bracket on and all ready to install. I'm looking for a y-splitter AN fitting so I can still use the fuel pressure gauge that's in the pics along with the digital fuel pressure gauge that is going in the pod pillar inside the car. I need the end of the rail that the gauge is on right now for the sensor hookup, so if I can get a y-splitter I can use both, which is my goal right now.

Thanks for the compliments!!

I'm going to assume that the sending unit for the digital gauge is also 1/8" NPT, like the rail mounted mechanical gauge. If so, you can thread this into the bushing at the end of the rail (where the gauge is now):

Then you can use this female "T" to attach the mechanical gauge and the sending unit in the same spot:

Just a thought...of course, if the sending unit is threaded differently, then this won't work.

Yeah the digital sending unit has a male end that would thread into that T, but I would like a Y if possible, but I have a feeling there isn't one I will see what I can find locally first, then order what I can't get here. Thanks for the links, I think that will have to be the route I take though with the T.

Thanks dude! I wanted to paint the base black, but that was too much work for me at that point, I just said f-it, it's done

I never would have guessed that was done with a rattle can. Great job. Your car is increasingly becoming one of my favorites.

Wow, old thread, and thanks again!

I must have forgot to post pics of the motor done, I swear I did though. Here's a few pics, these didn't have the BMR STB and I have a carbon fiber lid now. The camera that my buddy used didn't capture the true color of it, oo much sun and it does match perfectly though, I'll take some new ones later.....
