Re: Lack of fuel pressure

Buy a about 4 feet of grease gun line extensions & fittings, a needle valve and a 0-30psi pressure gauge. Seal the connections with permatex non-hardening sealer then start yer pump.

Here's my cheapo getup,


Greasegun extension leaving the Vulcan fitting tapped for the guage.



Needle valve for damping pressure pulses to calm the gauge needle.

It ain't pretty but this dog hunts and he don't leak.


The whole contraption using the fuel pressure check kit to screw onto the port on the injector pump and later I added needle valve to dampen the pressure pulses.
