Need recommendation on a fuel gauge.
I'm thinking of installing an under the hood or inside car fuel gauge on the wet side of my nitrous kit. What are some affordable but well made recommendations? Band name where to buy ect. Thanks for the help.

Re: Need recommendation on a fuel gauge.
You should be able to get a Autometer mechanical, mounting cup and pre-made hose for 60-75 or so.
Here are the Autometer numbers (2-1/16/2-5/8)

I just installed the auto meter electronic fuel pressure in the sport comp style.part # 3363 thats 2-1/16 3563 for 2-5/8 They are about 180 bucks but you don't have to run the fuel line in the car which is not legal at mostt tracks.

Re: Need recommendation on a fuel gauge.
Remember in order to locate the Fuel Pressure Gauge in the vehicle, you'll have to install a Fuel Pressure Isolator, for safety reasons, behind the firewall. The latter will cost you $99.98 from Jeg's. I went the liquid filled gauge route, for more accurate readings. I felt the accuracy of the fuel pressure was essential given the NOS I'll be throwing at the motor. FoFo.

Well, okay, you still need some plumbing items but it's still more than $1C less.
