I can kinda help ya out with the fuel pressure gauge. I am assuming it is electric. The sensor hooks up to the schrader valve. It is on the fuel rail towards the passenger side on the part that goes over the intake. You are going to need that special tool to take out the actual valve mechanism. As far as the wiring I kinda figured it out as I went. If you need more info I can take a look at my truck, but I am sure others know off the top of thier heads.

 

Oh yeah, and your going to need an adaptor to fit the sensor on the fuel rail. Good Luck!

 

ditto on the fuel guage. i had to work mine out with a couple of fittings screwed together, but it worked out to where the sending unit harness came straight out the side. just drain off the excess pressure. but you already knew that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> take off your intake cover and on the passenger side of the intake is a small tab near the top. break this off carefully with a regular pair of pliers and use that for your boost guage. you will be right there doing your sending unit anyway, it is right above it. piece of cake!

 

you don't need a special tool to pull the valve out, if you have a set of tiny tiny needle nose pliars you can use them, or call me and i'll bring my tank over and do it for ya, i have the perfect tool for pulling it out.

dont listen to sleek he has no idea what he is talking about. he ran his wires out side of the truck then under the hood. his truck is getto fabulous. wires every were <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Run the tube for the boost gauge to the manifold and tie it in with the fuel pressure regulator. Or you can run it to the passenger side and there is a tab you can break off and use that port.
For wiring you pull off the dash bezel and pull out your dimmer switch, the dark green wire on one end of the connector is the dimmer and you tie into that for illumination. You can also use the black wire on the same connector for gound if you want. That's what I did with mine. Hope that helps.

get the tool. it's cheap, easy, and will prevent you from digging up the inside of it. wiring above is accurate too. just don't run your wires along the hood. <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> duh! is your boost guage electronic or mechanical?

 

I installed my fuel guage at Home Depot's Parking Lot. They had all the fitiings I needed to convert form the fuel rail to the autometer adapter. Just bring in your plastic cap and your fuel pressure sending unit. The helped me make a slick adapter and it worked great-

Good luck-

 

ok so who has some pics?

matt i know youre going to help me right?
