Today I finally finished installing the Fuel Rail pressure gauge. Gauge was $18.00 at Summit. http://www.motorcitymarauders.com/forums/images/smilies/up.gif
If you want to install a small face fuel gauge into your DS fuel rail/log I have found the correct fitting that will fit into the provided FL shrader valve opening. You need to remove the valve along with the very small adapter fitting that connects the fuel log with the valve. The remaining opening in the fuel log can now accept the new adapter. The new adapter is a AutoMeter #3280 - 1/16" NPTF Male Ford fuel rail gauge adapter.
The opposite end is a female 1/8" NPT which you have to insert a right angle fitting - 1/8" NPT female to 1/8" NPT male end. The fuel gauge male end then is screwed into the 1/8" NPT female end of the right angle fitting which then goes into the new adapter female end above. The right angle fitting is needed so you can easily read the fuel gauge from standing in front of the engine/front bumper and looking down at the engine.
