Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Needle Valves

[CumminsFarmer]

Greetings guys. I had my own mechanical fuel pressure gauge once upon a time in the cab which took its reading from the schrader on the VP44. But after awhile the "shocks" from the VP began to make the gauge rattle and it irritated me to no end. Quick fix there, I just yanked the gauge out. In less than a month Im going to be installed a booster pump kit and would like to put my pressure gauge back in at the same time. I want the same set up, off the Schrader valve, but am wondering where to purchase, and then install a needle valve? If this will keep the gauge from jumping around I would be thrilled. Grateful for the help.

A good plumbing supply should have them.

This is my set up. Bought the needle valve from the Parker supplier here in town. Go here to see a pic.

CumminsFarmer - how bout a liquid filled gauge see http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/productdetail.jsp?xi=xi&ItemId=1612699868&ccitem=

$7. 00 just an idea. Liquid filled gauges allow the needle to not bounce as much as the liquid provides a dampening effect. Just an idea.
