fitting fuel press gauge to a 3400 rail help

[americasfuture2k]

i do need to note that my UIM is flipped over the other way so that the TB faces the right way.

so it would make it the same one, but different location on the LIM. that would be the LEFT most bolt on the front of the engine.

Your tb is still pointing in the same direction in relation to motor, your entire motor is 180 out.

doh, i posted that in the wrong topic.

Motor is facing same way, but it's in the rear. Plenum is normal, fuel rail is what is flipped 180*.

ah ok. makes sense.

hopefully im able to resurrect this old thread from the dead.

i see the fittings that i need to get..but they look like they have a hole for a mechanical gauge for in the bay, and a hole for an electronic sending unit for a in-cabin gauge.

if anything i just need some work of adapter that goes from the schrader valve or whatever its called and has a NPT fitting (that it iirc) for an electrical gauge sending using. now i know i can get a fitting and cap of the end that would go to an mechanical gauge..but i need away to mount the sending unit remotely because most of them are pretty big and it would be really ugly to have it chilling up there by the UIM.

so any thoughts or suggestions would be great. thanks.

You need an NPT to AN fitting. 7/16 to #8 AN. (although AN 6 is probably large enough.)

Think of AN numbers as a division of 32. (Corrected! It's 16 not 32)

4 = 1/4"

6 = 3/8"

8 = 1/2"



get it?

ANY industrial fluid/hose supplier can give you one, or go Jegs or Summit on-line and look at Russel or Earls.

But locally will be a lot cheaper.

Asylum... Nice...Very Nice...

Brad... This excellent kind of information is invaluable and the question comes up about the Schrader connections for hosing often enough to deserve a permanent place. Any chance to make this reply... "Stick"... in either the "How To" section of Write-Ups... or in a "Short and Sweet" section having a collection of tips and data like this? These things are always worth their weight in Gold!
