Default fuel pressure gauge

been thinking about mounting a fuel pressure gauge in the cockpit permanently. it would have to have an isolater to keep the fuel out of the cockpit.
does anyone have a fuel pressure gauge mounted inside their vette and where do you have it mounted. would love to see some pics of where you have it mounted.
also, who sells a fuel pressure gauge kit that screws on to the schrader valve with an isolater... anyone have a link to one.

You can get your isolator and the guage from Autometer through Summit.... the isolator comes with an AN 4 fitting that will screw onto the schrader valve, ( make sure you pull out the core first I have mine mounted on a dual a pillar pod... isolated was like 85 dollars, gauge about another 85, and the pillar pod about 45...

I recently switched to an electric version , look in my projects on my website ( in my signature) ..

Hope this helps feel free to email or PM if you need more information...

Fuel rail mounted: Accel, B&M, Street and Performance.

Street and Performance has the nicest I think. http://www.hotrodlane.cc/

Why dont you run one with an electronic sending unit so you dont have to run fuel lines into the cabin?

They used to have several different 2-1/16" dia styles but I believe
some of the 0-16 PSI models have been dropped. Since my catalog
is from '98, hopefully the 0-100 selection has been expanded.

** == 0-100 PSI Fuel (requires 82893 sender) ================ **
83042 White bezel/White face/Black numbers and needle - Seaworthy (Swthy)
(there are also the 83043 to 83047 pn#'s with other somewhat funky
colour combo's)

** == 0-16 PSI Fuel (requires 82504-F sender) ================ **
82888-P Stainless bezel/Black face/ White numbers and Orange needle - Track Force (TF)
I have this guage in an old-school BB car.

82868-P Black bezel/Black face/ White numbers and Orange needle - Track Force (TF)

82333 Stainless bezel/Black face/ White numbers and White needle - Deluxe (Dlx)
A classic SW look, I wanted this but couldn't get it.

284AM Black bezel/Black face/ White numbers and White needle - Heavy Duty (HD)

83067 White bezel/White face/Black numbers and needle - Seaworthy (Swthy)
(there are also the 83068 to 83072 pn#'s with other somewhat funky
colour combo's)
