Lindseyracing.com also sells a kit. It's $70 and you get an autometer 100 psi gauge, fittings to angle the gauge downward so it doesnt hit the hood, and the rail adapter pre-drilled with a copper washer.

Hey Sharky27,

Ok measured the gauge thread size - its 28 fine thread, I am not sure about the pitch, i have nothing to measure it (male end)
so the adapter would be female ends on both sides.

Let me know if you can make that.

Thanks
Dan

I would love to see Rennspeedracing make a kit for this!
Add it to the already cool stuff he makes!

I wonder if this would fit - $72.95 includes the gauge:

If Dan can make that adapter, then why spend upwards of $70 if everything can be had for under 30.

Why have a gauge on the fuel rail all the time? Just set the fuel pressure with a test gauge and put the cap back on. Less chance of leaks.

But you don't see it unless you pop the hood!

Now if you could maybe cut a hole in the hood and pop the gauge through, that'd be RICER EXTREME!

no need to keep it on, I agree, but i am trying to work out many bugs out of my car, so it will stay on there for a bit, and I would like to have a safer adapter than flapping piece of hose. Dan offered to make me an adapter, and I will take him up on that one, if he ever responds, lol

Here's what I use on my car. I can splice in a "T" adapter and add a fuel pressure sensor if I want to datalog this value.
