Default where can i get a Hobbs switch ASAP! no one has one in stock

Does anyone know where I can get a Hobbs switch ASAP? No one has them in stock. Jegs summit nasty performance all say it'll be about 2 weeks but my fuel system will be here tomorrow and I want to get it running this weekend. Anyone know some where that has them in stock?

Try NAPA auto parts. They usually call it a pressure switch.

There a small rubber plug on the end of it. If you pull that off you can set the turn psi with a allen key.

Ok I called napa and gave them the part number and the girl found it she can have it by 2 tomorrow so that's good and and but she said it only said a switch but didn't say anything about it being pressure referenced and its 31 dollars so I hope its the right one!

Also how do I know what pressure its set to activate at by turning it by a allen wrench?

Thanks!!

On my part box it said part #/switch- low pressure mine was set at 14psi. i turned it down and tested it by putting air from my compressor to it i set mine at 6.

What psi do u want it to turn on at ?

Its hard to say where mine is set. turn wise. But unscrew till its loose then maybe 1/2 to 3/4 turn. but it should really be checked with a air pressure. Cause a few non adjustable switches, i bought that said they turned on at 5 and 10 psi were turning on at 8.5 and 14 psi.
