Hey guys. Search isnt working and I just had a quick question. What connectors would I need to attach a fuel pressure gauge with a 3/8" male fitting to the fuel rail in my ta? Thanks a lot for the help.

Just a bump for this to see if anyone can help. I checked with nate and he doesnt even have anything. I need to go from the 3/8" NPT fitting to the -4 AN fitting on the rail. Im thinking it would have to go like this:

3/8" male gauge -> 3/8" female - 1/4" male adapter -> 1/4" female -4 AN female adapter -> -4 AN fuel rail

With the weight of all of these connectors would it be to much for the rail? I ve had this thing forever and really want to get it on. Anyone who is using an Aeroforce gauge if you could show me your set up it would help out a lot.

Easy answer, you need one of these from Caspers Electronics. It seems there is about one of these threads a week looking for the same adapter.

Go here: Caspers Electronics 107133

Awesome thats just what I was looking for. Thank you so much. Haha now all I need to do is go from the 1/8" to the 3/8" for that beast of a pressure sensor.

The page won't display, but I re-searched on the part number and came up with this...is it the correct part?
And what about a decent gage to connect to it?

Yes thats it. I used a simple mechanical gauge from jegs. Anything with a 1/8 npt male will work with the casper piece.

Ordered the fitting and a guage from Caspers. Shipping was the same so I figured I'd get my money's worth
Just under $50 for both

F...K the gage I got from Casper's is 1/4" Summit has a nice one for $31
Notes: Will directly screw into any 1/8 NPT female port.

Maybe I can drive in or have it shipped for another week long wait.

Well I got a 1/8x1/4 adapter for now, but I'm not impressed with the gage from Casper. Quality looks alright, it's the appearance I don't like. The Summit one is also a rear feed which I think will look better on the end of the fuel rail.

I ended up using this one
Not sure if I'll leave it, but it's nice to have handy.
