[greg@berkeley]

can anyone tell me what size adapter i'll need for a jeg's fuel pressure gauge? the gauge has a 1/8" NPT male end.

The fitting on the fuel rail is 1/16".... Or so I have been told

Just call them and I bet they can tell you. I'd tell you the part number, but the invoice is back home.

Autometer part #3280 is the adapter that you need. The fuel rail is 1/16 NPT, according to the searching I did yesterday (on Stangnet). It was also said that local hardware stores don't have this sized fitting, so save the time and just order the autometer adapter.

I don't know what kind of quality the JEGS gauge is, but an autometer 2173 sells for about $30.00 from Summit (part# ATM-2173). The adapter is about $8.00 (ATM-3280).

Greg you can prolly get that adapter at your local NAPA, at least they did by me....after I spent the $10 for it through Jegs

yeah, i'm not going to pay $8 for a part and then another $8 for shipping and handling.

i'll check out napa when i get home. thanks for the info, rick!

If you do get the part number from NAPA ... can you please post the part #?? Is it OK to leave the gauge on the rail permanently? It mounts right a the Schrader (SP?) valve, right? Thanks!

 

[greg@berkeley]

yeah, i'll post the napa part # if they have it. i will be mounting the gauge on the schrader valve. i don't think there's any reason not to leave it on permanently...
