Fuel rail fitting HELP??
OK here goes GANG!1 I have had the fuel pressure gauge fitting Break!!! on the fuel rail and YES!! it rather interesting to say the least. OK! Does anybody out there know of what fitting I need to get that will replace the Shrader valve fitting with one the will screw into the fuel rail come up about 2" and I can then screw the pressure gauge into. I DO NOT want to try the type that treads onto the schrader valve and then the gauge screws into it. They are just a about a 1/8" brass tube that is or is not chrome plated this is what has broke before. I would think that someone might make either an alumminum or steel fitting that screws in direct. Thanks GANG wro87

Not exactly what you want but superior to the fittings that come with gauge kits
What I have on my L98 rail is a -4 AN inline gauge fitting that allows the gauge to mount at right angles with a -4 cap to seal open end. Fits nicely under plenum.

Have never removed valve fitting from rail so do not know thread size so as to replace whole fitting

The reason I ask is that I mounted the Accel gauge (sounds like similar setup) onto both my IROC-Z and the Vette and, after a few years both gauges began to leak fuel into the gauge face...

That is not good
. You should have seen the red flags go up when the hood was lifted and the fuel was shooting up about 4-6" and the intake was full. Man I don't know what stopped us from flame on MF@#$@. It almost looks like ours might be leaking too and it is aboput 2 years old.

Correct , schrader valve fitting is -4AN ,just need a cap to seal open end.Can be installed / removed without pulling plenum but need to tweak front vac line fitting so vac hose will clear
