I'm chasing a "rich over all loads" condition, and I'm down to the MPS and Fuel Pressure. Car is a 1971 with D-Jet.
My questions are: 1. Where do I tap in with my gauge? Do I check both rails? 2. What is the proper pressure (30 PSI)? 3. What direction is the regulator adjuster turned to +/- the pressure? 4. Any clearly defined procedure? I did do a search and found a couple of related posts, but no direct answers. Thanks! |

Two more things. 1: Nice garage and beautiful car. 2: Where did you get a new TS1?

Two more things. 1: Nice garage and beautiful car. 2: Where did you get a new TS1? Mark D. 1. Thanks - much appreciated. 2. I've been getting most of my Bosch parts from AutoHaus AZ - http://www.autohausaz.com/ Just wondering - the "tap" or "valve" on the fuel rail is very small compared to most, do the pressure gauge kits usually have that size adapter included? I've heard of guys tapping directly to a fuel line with an el-cheapo guage. What about that method? |

I don't know if you have a Harbor Freight near you...but they sell a real cheap fuel pressure testor kit with all the fittings needed to tap into the fuel line off the driver's rail that leads to the cold start valve. |

She's an interesting girl. Is this the one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Disp...temnumber=92699 Bullseye! The kit goes on sale for $7.99 periodically. The gauge will directly screw into the silver T fiting that I have circled. Fuel line will go on all the way and seal nicely. Either leave the gauge on all the time or put a plug in the fitting when not using. The gauge dial is quite a bit larger than the ones you see on ebay...but easy to see. Attached image(s) ![]() |
