autometer fuel pressure guage install

mimicons · 04-09-2002, 11:31 AM

Does anyone know where the Fuel pressure sending unit installs. I know there is a port that the valve screws into, but I can't seem to locate it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It should screw into the fuel pressure regulator, I think. I haven't installed mine yet but that's where I think it goes. Maybe someone else can jump in and offer help.

On my 92, the schrader valve (covered by what looks like a tire valve cap) on the fuel line is very near the back of the alternator. To install the Electrical fuel pressure gauge you will need to unscrew the cap, remove the schrader valve (pliers will do), then screw in the sender. If you bought the $79 Electric gauge, you will need to get a 1/16 male to 1/8 female brass adapter - if you bought the $180 Electric gauge I think the sender comes with that fitting.

If you have a mechanical gauge - I am not positive, but I think you screw it on over the schrader valve.

Also, the STOCK fuel pressure regulator does not have a port for the gauge (some aftermarket adjustable fpr's do - but Kirban does not).

If you have a stock set-up than it'll plug into the Schrader valve
