Best way to set up a fuel pressure guage?

[Niki]

OK, so my 93 has 170K, my 92 has 300K, I'm curious about my lift pump(s) health. Is there any convenient spot to add a t or an 1/8 npt port along the line that goes from the lift pump to the injector pump, or is there already one somewhere? What pressure should I be looking for at idle/WOT in fifth gear? Any recommendations on guage brand? Thanks-Nick

You can buy a tapped banjo bolt from Geno's. I have an electrical gauge set up- keeps fluids out of the cab. I see 7-8spi at idle, I can suck it down to 0 at WOT, making 30-31psi boost in 4th and 5th (Airtex stock style LP). Minimum spec is 3psi at WOT, I think. I'd prefer to keep it above 5psi, though, just to be safe.

I should have looked, dodn't even realize I can tap a banjo bolt. What brand of guage do you have?

When you need gauges, contact member blacksheep4x4, he can get several brands, isolaters, etc. He'll give you a good deal, and service!

I bought a Westach, used, from a fellow TDR member.
