I would buy a Autometer electric full sweep gauge and then you could log it if you wanted to

0-15 would be good enough,but if you bought a 0-100 you could use it for anything

Autometer 0-15 full sweep gauge in the progress of installation now. I have the pressure sensor installed; now just need a place to mount the gauge. Will run a few wires to hook up to the V2 once I figure out where I am going to put the gauge.

:nopic:



you will need to get some type of pins to tie into the gauge to go to the V2
atleast if you run the wires now you will be good to go once you get the pins:)

I will post a picture of the sensor install as soon as I charge up my battery on the camera again.

I was curious if anyone knows what kind of pins I need for the connector on the back of the Autometer gauge. Where can I get them?

Best thing to do, would be pull one of the existing pins and try to match it at GM or a electrical shop

If you find something let us know!

Here is a picture of the sensor installed on top of the OEM fuel filter. I hope this location will work.

Don't know anything about what you guys are talking about :rofl:

But your camera takes awesome pictures I can read the numbers on wires or whatever it is :D

Camera is a Nikon S6 Point and Shoot.

Black line is a water/meth line to the intake. Red is a boost line to the water meth controller. The Fuel Pressure sensor is the silver cylinder screwed into the brass fittings on the top of the fuel filter housing.

just installed the FASS 95gph pump only (no filters) checked pressure, running 16.5-17psi at Idle :eek:
LBZ truck, hasnt effected idle or anything.
Ordered from Huckstorf, they are going to send me a new spring for the regulator.

Just and FYI so guys without a gauge make sure to check them.


Edit: FASS is sending me a new pump.

I have an electric cobalt autometer fuel pressure gauge. I'm trying to figure out what fitting u put on the electric sending unit and be able to screw it into the bleeder hole on top of the fuel filter spot. Any help b appreciated. The sending unit looks to b a tight mm thread and the bleeder hole is a course thread....

if I'm not mistaken, it's a 10mm x 1/8NPT, hard to get locally. I got mine from lubrication specialist, I think he may be a vendor here.

I didnt feel I needed to see the gauge all the time. Only to check at the track and see if its making pressure.
