Dear everyone
I’m interested in putting a fuel pressure gauge and fuel pressure regulator. I’m curious to know where I would install the fuel pressure gauge if I leave the stock regulator in place. I know that if I install an aftermarket regulator it comes with a fitting for the gauge.
Now I have only seen a fuel pressure regulator installed on one car in person that I have had the privilege to work on. It was installed in piggyback with the stock regulator. I’m not sure if it did anything because I couldn’t understand how it would work with the stock fuel pressure regulator in place. The owner said it made a huge difference in performance.
So I’m wondering how do I install a gauge now and then the regulator at a later on. I would assume that I have to install the gauge after the stock regulator but I didn’t see a bung, although I could have missed it since I didn’t take the intake manifold off.
I would assume that you would have to block off the vacuum line on the stock fuel pressure regulator so that it would allow all fuel to pass through it. Then have the aftermarket regulator installed before the stock regulator, and have that connect to engine vacuum.
Could anyone with any info please post up, I really want to get this project off the ground.
Thanks
