On my gauge I had to screw a 45 degree 1/8 pipe M/F fitting in to get the line to clear the throttle linkage. The 45 degree fitting has a hole on the male end that measures about .220 diameter. I took an old Mig welder tip(.023) and smacked the end with a hammer to close the hole up. Then I turned it down in a lathe and cut it off to fit into the brass 45 deg. fitting. I then soldered it in place and re-drilled the hole to .015. Smaller and the gauge is too slow to respond, over .020 and it still bounces a bit. It's about 28 at idle, 32 once going, and 45 when I turn on the aux. pump.

Here is my new EV2 FP gauge in its new home. Also the new lift pump and sender in the Banjo from Geno's.

I also replaced my IC boots. Thought I would squelch any issues with 17 year old boots but mainly I just preferred the clamps that came with them. Much easier to deal with.

These EV2 gauges are sweet huh? they look really good at night too. I wish I had that much pressure though!

It's not too expensive and an easy MOD. They are sweet "Blacky". Now I'm looking at my old "Banks" gauges and thinking hmmmm. I just picked up an HE351cw that was rebuilt. I'm gonna PM you soon with a question or two.
