Re: Fuel pressure gauge install? FWIW, If you get an Autometer gauge, you'll see that most of them appear around $200. Thats for the full sweep needle ones. They have a partial sweep one for under $100 that not many people see...
There is a post on ls1.com where somebody put up all the part numbers. The 2 1/16 ultralight gauge is 4309.

Re: Fuel pressure gauge install? I have a Nordskog (formerly Intellitronix) fuel pressure gauge. Only cost about $100 for everything, but the thing is a piece of CRAP. I can't get it to maintain readings, and yes, my grounds are secure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
My next FP gauge would be a full sweep AutoMeter. About $180 from Summit (plus probably another $20 in fittings), but hopefully it'll work better than this crappy thing I put on my '94.

Re: Fuel pressure gauge install? The Autometer Electric Full Sweep works good. Mine always shows 58-59psi at idle. You will need to track down a couple of fittings that do not come with the Autometer gauge. One is a -4 AN female x -1/8 in. NPT male. I used Earl's Plumbing EAR-916104 from Summit Racing.This connects to the fuel rail The other fitting is just a double female 1/8 NPT fitting which you can usually get at any auto part store. This joins the sender to the -4AN to 1/8 NPT fitting. After the install you just need to keep the "electronics box" from getting wet. At this link I have a video with my gauges http://home.attbi.com/~cdcastle1/Gauges.mpg. It is big (5.71MB). At the end you can see the Fuel Pressure gauge. It is the bottom one on the pod. Too bad CarParts.com does not have that 33% off anymore. I did pretty well with all the gauges I bought <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Fuel pressure gauge install? I'll post the part numbers here too. The full sweeps will cost you $175-$225, the partial sweeps go $75-$85 depending on the style. I'd sure like a full sweep, they look cool and you get a better reading, but for the price I'm using a partial sweep. Installation is a breeze. These are full electric gauges, not the ones with the isolator - those are a PIA to install.

Re: Fuel pressure gauge install? Thanks man! I want a silver faced gauge to match my silver sport-comp tach, so it looks like the ultra lite series is what I want. On autometer's website I am pulling up 4309 as the full sweep. Thanks for the help. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
