Fuel Pressure Gauge Install Question?

[98viperGTS]

I was just looking at getting a fuel pressure gauge and read that with the autometter gauge I will also need a sending unit? Is this true? Also how do you install one of these?

I am looking at AutoMetter part num 5763

That is the electric Phantom and includes a pressure sender.

So, to revive this thread I have a rookie question...

If one was to install a fuel pressure gauge, where would you tap in to the system for the install? I would be using an electric gauge vs. mechanical.

Tap into the schrader valve port at the passenger rear of the intake manifold. If you decide to log the autometer is not a 0-5 full range, it is a 0-4.5 range. This is straight forward and should not present any issues.

I wasn't sure if I could use that port or not. Thanks for the info.

I did a write up in the illustrateds...

Adding a simple unit under the hood will meet 90% of people's requirements. Nothing more boring than a fuel pressure gauge. Got fuel pressure? Yep....At the right pressure? Yep...next issue..
