#74219, "fittings for fuel system"


          

Hey guys... to connect my fuel pressure gauge I used those connectors that have screw-in end on one side and the hose barb on the other. I teed of a line for it. I think my fuel gauge is broken so I bought a new autometer (I had the HRC one) mechanice fuel gauge and I tried to screw it in. The width is the same but the threads seem to be thicker than the ones on the HRC gauge and I cant screw it in. Do you know where I can get the connectors? The ones I currently have I got from Home Depot. thanks.

Also, this new autometer gauge has a power line for it but the HRC one doesn't... did i get the right one? I think i did but my old one didnt need power or a ground or anything.

Well it sounds like this is an electrical guage rather than a manual guage. Does it mount inside the car or outside? If it has a power it's most likely made for use inside the car and that means it should have an isolater to keep the fuel outside the car. Is there a control box with the guage? Also the size of the autometer is prolly an 1/8" NPT fitting. So all you need is a new T with an 1/8 inch NPT port (you can get this at home depot). This should all be in the directions though...



I edited to the wiki!

Nope no control box. it is the mechanical. It cost 30 or 40 $, I dont remember. I'll check Home Depot again out tho.

Well, is the autometer an guage electronic boost gauge? Does it have a little MAP sensor?? If not then it must be for elumination.
