Electric Fuel Pressure Gauge HELP!!

quick89gt · 03-13-2001, 02:38 AM

I am going to install the AutoMeter electric fuel pressure gauge tomorrow, but am totally confused. Where do I hook the sending unit to, and where and how do I wire it into the ignition switch??? The damn diagram they sent with it assumes that you are an electrical engineer or something. ha! I know I sound like a complete idiot, but any help would be great. josh

I mounted the sending unit in the fuel line.
There should be a npt port by the pasanger side valve cover in the fuel line... thread it into there. And as far as the ignition switch, all you have to do is find a wire that is only on when the key is on the on position. If you have a test lite or a voltage tester it will be easy.

yeah, i'll bring those along with my tester. it's got a light on it to find the "hot" wires for the ignition. I thought that's what we had to do, but wasn't sure. don't wanna fry my entire car. anyways, i'm headed out the door now...cya.
