A4 Line Pressure Question After some googling I was able to find the following except a 0-400 hydraulic pressure gauge(does it have to be hydraulic?) Found severel others but say they are for messuring oil, gas, and water
Here's what I found. Could you tell me what can and cannot be used and if I could get these from one supplier?
Gauge:
Valley Instrument Grade A Stem Mount 2 1/2in. Glycerin Filled Gauge — 0-400 PSI
Brass movement with C shaped Boudon tube. 1/4in. NPT male connection. For use with air, gas, oil or water. Black enameled aluminum pointer, white aluminum dial and temperature compensating polycarbonate window. Glycerin filled to dampen pulse and vibration. Accuracy: ASME/ANSI B40.1 Grade A (2-1-2%).
* Range PSI: 0-400

So as mentioned above I would like to know is there one place I could purchase all this from and can a reguler 0-400 gauge be used to measure tranny pressure? Also what should my line pressure be at on a vac mod built 4l60E?

You need to find a hydrulic oil pressure gauge 0-400psi. Is this for testing purposes? I bought a set from MATCO tools along time ago. I could probably get you some info if you need it. As far as the pressures it depends on where engine vacuum is a idle. Normally at idle on our dyno I see pressures at 15in of vacuum around 75-100psi in drive. 0 vacuum 210-230psi in drive.
If you have a Granger in your area the carry a good assortment of guages, both pneumatic and hydraulic. http://www.grainger.com/production/info/ww-granger.htm
