How to install a Digital Stepper Motor fuel pressure gauge by Autometer, and fix my oil gauge line!

It's time to change out my Mechanical Fuel Pressure gauge, because it should NEVER be installed inside your cabin. So, we're going upgrade to a Digital Stepper Motor version, AND re-purpose the old Mechanical Fuel Pressure line to be used as the new Oil Pressure Line. The reason is the old oil pressure capillary tube is plastic, which can break or melt causing a royal mess. I recently installed a FiTech Fuel Injection system, and I'd like an easy way to determine if I have adequate fuel pressure, hence the gauge. In the prior two Mechanical gauge episode's we found a gauge location, installed a Mechanical Water Temperature gauge, and a mechanical Oil Pressure gauge.

In this episode, "How to install a Digital Stepper Motor fuel pressure gauge by Autometer, and fix my oil gauge line!", we review the three different types of gauges (Mechanical, Air Core, and Digital Stepper Motor with Solid state sending unit) While this is applicable to any engine, this particular video will show the back up pressure port on a Pontiac 400. Enjoy!

If you missed it, check out the first rebuild episode were I tear down the engine, the bearings were toast! Resulting in LOW OIL PRESSURE! Hence my need for mechanical gauges.    • Pontiac 400 Block Tear Down and ReBui...
