Can someone help me? I'm installing a AutoMeter electrical fuel pressure gauge in my car and need to know what fitting I need to install the sending unit to my fuelrail. I know it's a 1/8 NPT but what the other end. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going through this right now on my LT1, except I'm installing a Nordskog sending unit. I found that the fuel rail is -4AN, so it needed adapters to get to 1/8 NPT. I bought these parts through Summit, and the same might work for you.
EAR-916104ERL: -4 FEMALE TO 1/8 NPT SWIVEL
EAR-991601ERL: 1/8 NPT 90 DEG. FEMALE
I needed the 90 to make it fit. I haven't finished the install yet, but got the parts and they fit together correctly. I just need to get a shrader valve stem removal tool and some teflon thread sealer (not tape).

Camaro_freak, Thanks!! I look on summit at the Earl fittings and can make it work. But after looking at CamaroZs post I kind of like it better it's beefer and one piece construction. I can't seem to find anybody who carries it. The number for Aeroquip is no good and they tried to cross Ref. If not I will go the two piece way. Thanks again, John Junkins

I have the one from Metco. The part # is: MFF0001
If you give them a call and tell them what you are trying to do, they will know exactly what you are talking about.

if you want to relocate it, you can also put a -4AN line on there and mount it somewhere else underhood.
or, you can tap into the fuel line anywhere under the car, and go from there... if looks matters at all, id cut and flare the hardline under the car, and install a Tee.... then you can attach the sender.

I tried to log into their web site but it's dead and I have no Phone #.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As for locating it under my car, It would be a great idea but my car is lowered and afraid on tearing it off. Damn West Virginia roads is like driving over continous speed bumps. Thanks for the info..
