Rail mounted FP gauge for dummies 101.

[red94fiveo]

I am finshing up my H/C/I swap and will most likely need to start fussing with m fuel pressure. I have an Aeromotive AFPR (I know, should have gotten the Kirban!), but no gauge for it. When looking for a rail mounted gauge, I have no idea what to look for, will almost any pressure gauge work? I'd like to be able to pick one up somewere in town, but what do I need to look for and where can I get one, thanks.

P.S - I know this has been discussed and I looked at some old threads, but I'm clueless on this one, thanks for the help.

I ordered both the gauge and the adapter for the schrader valve from Jegs. Get on the phone with them and I'm sure they can get you hooked up.

The AFPR doesnt have a spot on it for a gauge?

 

[red94fiveo]

Yeah it does, I'm just not sure what I need for it. Everyone always seems to need a thousand adapters and stuff to get the to fit.

Jake - thanks for the advice, I was hoping to pick one up in town tomorrow or the day after, should I just check the speed shops?

All i needed was one 90, and one coupling. Then the gauge screws into the coupling. I have a BBK afpr. So the gauge ends up right next the afpr, level with it easy to see.

Arent the gauges that go on the rail more then other pressure gauges? The gauge i got was only like 15 bucks, then a couple dollars for fittings at a local speed shop.

Be sure you use some teflon tape on when threading it in...fuel tends to want to leak out otherwise. I use an autometer guage and picked up a NOS adapter.

Yeah, I will eventually be running the autometer one. unfortunately I don't have the funds for a $200 Lunar FP gauge right now!
