90 dollars shipped with all parts nessecary seems like a good deal to me! Just need to know if this is electric or will it run lines into the cabin.

installation instructions are right there. I would say you'd have to run a line to the Schrader(sp) valve for the fuel pressure. Looks cool though.

Well it sez each gauge includes an electronic 1/8th NPT fuel pressure sender unit, and a wiring harness, are you going to hook that up to the Schrader valve? You will have to run wire but not fuel line & it looks like it is a male fitting so you will need a female ended connector, Schrader valve is not NPT thread I believe its 4AN

I think it is 1/16 pipe as i have some in the shop from years ago project though can not remember if a chevy or a ford project.. Come to think of it might even be metric as everything else is the fuel system...

1/8th NPT fuel pressure sender unit right off the page


When I installed my fuel gauge on the rail I had to use NPT on the gauge and AN thread on the Schrader, specs on his gauge say 1/8 NPT and both are male connections so he will need a female 4AN on one side and a 1/8 NPT on the other side of the coupler. If he doesn’t use the right thread it will leak
