fuel pressure guage?

I need to know what I would need to put an electrical fuel pressure guage on the low pressure side. I want to know what my lift pump pressure is and with an Isspro analog gauge type set up. Thanks for the help.

rudy stay with mechanical. you are looking at 8 psi a 15 psi full scale gauge is what you want. you only need to glance at this gauge about once every month so it does not need to be in your face. we mount ours by the shifter. you need to add 2 micron filtering to extend the injector life. the takeoff for the gauge needs to be after the filter. do not change the filter until it drops to 2 psi under load. go to genosgarage.com and get a bf-long tapped for $7 next go to autozone and get a copper line oil pressure gauge installation kit for $11 it has all of the fittings and 6' line. go to ww granger or surpluscenter.com and get a glycerin filled gauge for about $16 and you have the very best.

I got mine from dieselmanor. They sell a complete kit for the fuel pressure gauge. It installs a fitting where the banjo bolt is under the fuel filter outlet line. Your pressure will be around 8-10 psi at idle.

either on the bottom of the filter or on the cp3. genos also has the kits both mechanical and electric but you pay a high price for pretty
