Fuel Pressure Gauge
Does anyone know what make and model, and were to gt a fuel pressure gauge that can be left on the engine permanently? I figure I can leave it there for diagnostics, and problems with the TPI?
Thank you

Ecklers has one in there catalog for around $89.00 , I can't remember the make but Im thinking Accel....You can find them cheaper then that online at places like Summit or Jegs, I've seen them as low as $65.00 on Ebay at times.These screw onto the schrader valve.....WW

The one from Ecklers screws right on.. Im not sure about the others ,but you shouldn't have any problem finding an adapter to make it fit...Do a Google search under (accel 74745 fuel pressure gauge) and you get a ton of different sites that carry it, some with prices in the $60s..

You need to take the stem out of the Schrader valve before attaching the fuel pressure gauge. The instructions tell you only attach it temporarily but I've had three different ones on there for at least 10 years without problems. I lost the plastic cover on the first one (they changed the design so that's no longer a problem). The second one got melted in my fire and the third one has been fine. My Accel gauges all came from Summit.
