    How did you hook up your mechanical fuel pressure gauge?

    Is this how your shrader valve is? What size fittings did you use to attach the braided line? How did you get everything to fit in that tight space?

    Here's the part# for Russell brand adapter:

    Part # Description Qty.
    640890 Ford EFI Fuel Pressure -4 AN x 1/16" NPT 1

    Here's the link to the website:

    Russell

    The clearance may be an issue with the intake tube of the blower, I had to tweak my rail upward near the spring-lock fitting to raise the schraeder valve enough to be able to get a F/P Guage on it.

    Another option to the above part is to go buy a cheapo handheld F/P guage that doesn't mount to the vehicle, the one I have had the adapter fitting.

    In the pic, does the part with the black cap on it screw out of the fuel line? Then you just attach the adapter into it?

    Thanks for all the help

    That I'm not certain about, I've only used the removeable type of F/P gauge and it screwed directly onto the fitting present on the rail.

    If it seems like it will be to tight, You might want to get a new fuel reg like an Accufab that has a port in the side of it for a fp guage.

    I just bought a new kirban regulator. Do you think I could use a 45 degree angle fitting so the braided line would almost run parallel with the side of the motor?
