For the dudes and dudettes that have electronic fuel pressure gauges, this question is for you...
Where in Tar Nation do you find the hardware to connect the fuel pressure senser to the schraeder valve? Or how else do you hook the sensor up? I've looked at all types of fittings and am still not getting anywhere. Thanks, Jack |

I simply removed the Schrader valve. Or at least the internals of it. Think about removing a tire valve and the same theory applies.

Yup, same tool that is used on A/C schrader valves, tire valve tool won't do. |

That makes sense, but how do you get the sensor to fit? I don't have nearly enough clearance. FWIW I have an '86, so yours may be different.

Definitely different from me 95. How about a short hose from the port to the sensor? Of course you would have to get one made, but that should be easy enough.

Easy Schrader is -4AN Use a -4AN M/F inline gauge adapter with a 1/8 NPT port and use a -4 cap to plug the open end. http://store.summitracing.com/largeim ... Caps&img=rus-670290_w.jpg Puts sender unit at 90 degrees to rail and because cap turns can be fitted or removed without taking plenum off Russell # 670290 or similar from other suppliers |
