Maybe its mechanical, which means youd have a fuel line running into your interior compartment.

It's mechanical and you can't use it inside your car. The cheapest electrical half sweep fuel pressure gauge from autometer is like $85 and the full sweep ones are about double that.

Most members highly recommend the full sweep gauges. Usually they will come with a red and a green condom for the light bulb.

I was told to get an elctrical gauge otherwise you need a fuel line in the car or you can do what Jime used to do with his mechanical.

You could wait until the gauge pillars are available from Custommaxima.com. We're hoping either Greg or another entrepeneur will have a group deal on gauges to go with the pillar.

Autometer recalled all of their half sweep electric fuel pressure guages. If you have one you can send it back for a full sweep for free. Make sure you get one that is from 0-100psi.
