Anybody using the Autometer fuel pressure guage? What do you guys think?

[Arcticat]

It is model number 4361 0-15psi fuel pressure guage ultra-lite series. WAY expensive at $189 at carparts.com with the 15% discount. However I don't have anything else to compare it to besides the SPA which is a little bit more. There is a picture of the 2-5/8"version of the guage here http://www.autometer.com/hp/2001_catalog/racing/gauge_closeups/4461_62.html looks nice and will match the ultra-lite pyro and 60psi boost I was already planning on. Would like some thoughts and feedback on this guage or any brand of fuel pressure guage for that matter thanks

I have one in mine. It's installed on the dash, but not hooked up yet. Went to do it this last weekend and can't find some of the fittings I bought. Need to get some new ones.

Briar Hopper has the autometer fuel pressure gauge in his truck and likes it. I have the Stewart Warner gauge in my truck. The SW gauge only registers in 1 psi increments whereas the autometer looks like it's in . 2 psi increments. I did notice when I rode in Tom's truck last week that his needle bounces around whereas my SW is more steady. I'm pretty sure that's because of the increased accuracy of the autometer (the . 2 psi increments). The pulses aren't large enough to register on the SW gauge. The SW gauge is a lot cheaper than the autometer but doesn't look as good. I mounted mine down below the dash away from my other gauges so a consistent look wasn't as important as if they were side by side. SW does have quite a range of different faces that can match most of the other gauges out there pretty well. JMHO

Arcticat,

I installed the Autometer Ultra-lite #4361 from Summit Racing for $187. 00.

I put the blue after market bulbs in all my gauges before I installed them. They look really cool at night. Not offensive at all.

I have this same autometer gauge and after three weeks my sending unit blew apart!! I guess I have good fuel pressure!!! LOL. Anyway JEG's is replacing the part and autometer wants the sending unit for tests. They say that this sending unit is rated for a 1000 PSI.

Steve's right, I love my AutoMeter gauges, especially the fuel pressure gauge. Yeah, it's expensive, but compare it to the cost of a new injection pump...
I've got a 5 speed, so with no need for transmission temp, this was a logical choice for a third gauge in my A-pillar pod. BTW, I tried an AutoMeter mechanical gauge, and while the quality was the same, the hose coming out the back made the whole thing too bulky to be practical for a pillar mount. It also needs to be about the same level as the fuel pump... so it's a better choice for dash mounting. By the time you get through buying fittings and a longer hose, you've spent nearly the cost of an electrical gauge anyway.
