Fuel Pressure ????

[ktekst]

What psi range of gauge do I need to buy? it looks like 0-15 or 0-100 ...

Also any recommendations on what brand of gauges to use?

Thanks

If your plans are to stay with a stock lift pump a 15 is fine. If you plan to upgrade to a better set up like a low pressure piston lift pump or another better unit I would go with a 30 psi. You will be in the upper limits of a 15psi gauge with a better pump. Do not get a hundred. With our set ups a 100 will read near 0 or be hard to read. I have a isspro 30 psi in mine. I have another on the shelf for my 89. ( to many projects )

I agree with Richie UNLESS you are going to run a BIG fuel pump with a boost referenced regulator and a LOT of boost then you may need the 100psi gauge, base pressure will stay say 18psi then at 50lbs boost and running a 1:1 regulator you would be at 68psi fuel pressure.

thanks for the tip, but im guessing for now the most ill be doing in the future is the low pressure lift pump conversion.
