Fuel Lines Fitting, Etc

[88GT17MA]

I searched on here, found the fittings I would need to run my autometer ultralite fuel pressure gauge, and nothing fit. Dont have the part numbers off hand but I got them from one of jricker's (spelling?) posts.

The fuel pressure gauge fitting is big, and the little npt fitting will not fit, they arent even correct thread size. I figured i probably needed to pull out the fitting in the gauge and put the other one in, but the fitting on the gauge will no come out.

Someone know EXACTLY what I need to hook up my fuel pressure gauge?

can i use a line with the correct size to the gauge on one end and then a different size fitting on the other to mate to my aero. afpr?

the factory size is 1/16. smallest most places go down to is 1/8. prob have to get a 1/16 to 1/8 adapter. i know autometer carries em, but a local place i dunno.

I would check both summit and steeda for the line connection you need from the rail. Not sure if you intend to run a braided line from the fitting to your sender or not. If so then you can use this Steeda piece with some 4an braided hose (really just a russel fitting, could probably find it cheaper elsewhere too). Also, NOS fittings will work on the stock fuel rail. Good luck.

Steeda also has these available too:

"Steeda's special fitting adapt the fuel rail pressure port to 1/8" NPT, so you can connect to the fuel rail to pressure gauges without having to string together 3 different fittings. They don't sell a fitting like this in hardware stores, but Steeda makes it easy." Steeda site.

I have one like the biggest one you pictured, the problem isnt going to be getting the fuel pressure source, its getting it connected to my gauge. I cant seem to figure it out. Anyone use an ultralite autometer fuel pressure gauge?

elec or mech? elec, you can just get the 1/16 to 1/8 adapter and should be fine.

mech, gotta know what size fitting is on the gauge. i think it is -4 an.

You need an NOS fitting if you are trying to connect to the electrical sender.
