schaffman Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Can anyone recommend a fuel pressure gauge. I just got the spa turbo adjustable regulator and want to know exactly where I need to set it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechengrkj Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I've been using this one for about 1 year now. No problems yet. EDIT: Wrong link. Should be the right one now. Edited June 15, 2015 by mechengrkj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88351wtsi Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) This maybe really stupid but, I ordered an electronic 3 - 1 gauge and was wondering where I need to put the pressure sensor on my 88 with TBI. Anyone have any ideas? Was thinking about the allen head set screw in the back but was afraid of what would be behind it. Didn't know if it had anything to do with the pulsation damper or if it would even work. Edited June 24, 2015 by 88351wtsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 The allen screw on the back is just a plug to cover the hole where they drilled the fuel passage. You can tap that to a NPT size and put your gauge sender there. But, that screw is on SUPER tight. I broke an allen socket trying to get it off. You have to remove the fuel rail and drain it. Then clamp it in a vise and heat it with a torch. Once it's hot the allen plug will come out easily. Then you can drill, tap and install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPGorBOOST Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Be careful when tapping it. I cracked the fuel rail on my first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarisman14 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 A little late to the party but I bought a 1/8"NPT Marshall gauge for mine, non fluid-filled, for cheap money off ebay--maybe 10 bucks? I can't remember. It lasted 4 years so I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have the summit one shown earlier tapped into the unused port.... works great, only thing to be careful of is do not angle the gauge to far "up". There isn't much clearance there and if you try pointing the face "up" it can hit the hood. Point it straight to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I put an adapter there A 90 and it now faces the driver side fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G54Bstore Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I got a cyberdyne electrical that's in my gauge pod. I guess I wouldn't recommend it because the leds are burning out and it's getting hard to read. Last one I had worked great for years. This newer one supposedly has manufacture flaws now form what I read on the net.Looking at glow shift gauges now for fuel pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88351wtsi Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I went with the banjo fitting that screws into the top fuel filter line. Very nice and easy. Had to turn it down lot. It was 65lbs. Turned it down to 48lbs. The injectors suggest 43-45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
