Digital, Remote Fuel Pressure sender question :
I have a remoted, electronic Fuel Pressure sender and gage that I will be hooking up to my car.
Problem I found is that I have the superram installed, and can not get the FP Senderto plug in. The plenum is in the way.
Anyone have a solution to this they came upon? Or am I going to have to wait on the installation until I take the superram off again?
Thanks. :cheers:

Hmm? How are you trying to hook it up? My sender unit wasn't even the right threads to go to the schrader valve. Mine is off of a couple of adapters forming an elbow.

I was wondering about going that way.. Maybe I'll visit HomeDepot.
Only thing is I don't want to use Teflon Sealer on the threads anywhere in the fuel system. Did you get special adapters to form the elbow? got a pic? :D

No teflon no nothing!!! If your sender is like mine it gets its ground from the fuel rail and needs to have clean thread to thread contact. I have a pic somewhere. I got them from summit, I think they are Aeroquip fittings or something like that.

Ohh ok cool..
So did you remove the shreader valve itself, and put a fitting inside, then added a 90Degree elbow and then threaded the remote FP sender in there?
Thanks for the info by the way

I removed the core only. Then there is a female to female adapter, a 90* elbow and then a female to female adapter to change threads to the sending unit.

I used a 90* female-female with swivel ends, then the adapter. Got Aeroquip stuff from my local Loper's Performance. Here's the pic... and it will fit with the SuperRam I'm currently installing.

Thansk for the pic.
Now do you guys replace the actual shraeder valve? As I see it has a pin that has to be pushed in to get the FP through it. I presume the first adapter replaces the actualy shrader valve. right?

Found mine. Don't pay attention to the teflon paste on there. That was from before I knew the unit got its ground from the rail. :crazy:
Mine requires removing the core of the schrader only. I'm going to do something this year so that I can have the scrader, my nitrous hookup, and the FP sender.
