I remember reading this thread a while back. Initab supplied a link to a place you can get them pretty cheap. I don't see a 0-5, but they may have them. Oh yeah- they are cheap (did I mention that?).

A friend of mine gave me his Holley 0-15 (POS) guage. Whatever guage you get make sure the face is GLASS. The Holley is plastic. Some fuel leaked while I was testing and ruined the plastic lens. Fogged it out- now you can barely make out the readings.

What Tom said above.....

I bought one from American Science & Surplus for less than 10 bucks. Even though it was cheap it certainly didn't look cheap and seemed to work just fine.

EDIT- I just searched their site and didn't see any 0-5's. Bummer..... maybe they really are out of 'em. I'd give 'em a call, ya never know.

I got a liquid filled holley from Summit that works very well. Around $35.

I'll try spectre brand @ Pep Boys on my lunch break today.

I wouldn't mind getting Yaw's gauge but he's hard to get ahold of and $47 is a bit high. I need the gauge this week.

Yaw did say his was the only accurate guage that he had found.



found this on the link inittab gave.

it is 0 - 15 but for 7.50 it might be worth a try.

Thats what my dad and I use. It works good, except its 1-30 psi and you cant adjust very accurately. A Yaw guage is on the shopping list i guess...

Yeah, if you can spare the moulah, a Yaw guage is a sure bet... but not necessarily needed

Any other ideas?

it's not exactly cheap, but I have been very happy with my mechanical fuel pressure gauge from autometer. It comes with the isolator so you can mount the gauge in the car...where you really want it. It's the one mounted to the left of the stock gauge cluster.
