I need to get a gauge to check out my fuel pressure, I know it's way rich right now. Does it just mount inline between the filter and fpr? What gauges are you guys running? I can't find one that includes an inline T to mount right up, they all say they bolt onto the fuel filter? What kind can I get that's cheap and will bolt right up? Thanks!

That will install between the filter and the fuel rail. Also be sure to read your other post.

Sweet, that T fitting is exactly what I was looking for.....so that'll work with pretty much any gauge huh, as long as they're 1/8 in.? And it's 3/8" fuel line inbetween the filter and fpr right? Thanks a million!

go to home depot, buy a seven dollar pressure gauge, a brass tee fitting and nipples and stick it in between the filter and rail.

Brass will leave deposits in the fuel system but for short term use (<10k miles you'll be ok) also most Home Cheapo gauges are not glycerin filled and this makes them very susceptible to vibration. The summit or any performance auto shop gauge will be glycerin filled to increase its durability.

cool, thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna go check at autozone to see if they have a cheapo liquid filled one, if not, I'll order it off of summit.
