I used the Autometer gauge (Summit part #ATM-2173 $29.88) along with the necessary adapter (Summit part #ATM-3280 $7.95).

When you go to install it, you have to remove the schrader (sp) valve. Took me about an hour to figure that out.

the valve on your fuel rail....its on the left side rail toward the front. usually has a black cap on it. BTW make sure all the pressure is out before you try to remove it.

just get an open-end and turn it, but make sure the pressure is out of the lines and when you go to tighten the new gauge in make sure you dont over tighten, it doesnt have to be ball busting tight. Don't forget the telfon tape for sealing

first you have to make sure your gauge comes with the adaptor(not sure on size) so it can replace the valve. I think they make the guage were you can jsut screw it on the existing valve also.


think that covers it.

yes, look at the passenger side fuel rail. at a spot very close to the front of the car you will see the valve. unscrew the little black cap and push down on the valve (similar to the valve on the tire) to let the fuel pressure out (gas will come out). then it takes like an 8 or 9 mm wrench to take the valve off of the rail.
