What about using a Lunar series from Autometer. Good match with our stock panel.

I have a new Autometer Ultra-Lite Electric Fuel Pressure gauge(#4360) installed with my FASS. It is new, did not even see a listing on the Autometer website for it. Works great and matches my other Ultra-Lite gauges. It is on the expensive side, but wires only in the cab.

i have thought about that one, but the price scares me bigtime, so i think i will end up going mechanical with isolator [use my 0-35 boost as fuel when i relable it and get a 0-60 boost for when i eventually upgrade turbos]

I have the lunar series, and I really like them. They match the stock dash well, and look nice.

I also want to get a fuel pressure gauge and a couple more in the overhead pod, and all electric. But they must be the lunar series. I also need to know where to mount the electric fuel pressure sensor.

What about water temp and oil pressure?

Thanks.

The electric Ultra-Lite gauge was around $200. Kind of shocked the guy at Hot Rod Diesels when I told him that was what I wanted. But for me it was worth it. Matches all the other gauges and wires only in the cab.
No isolator to buy and install or worries about leaks either.

How does the electric fuel pressure gauge hook up ????? I was wondering how it differs from the type of fuel pressure gauge I have with an isolator.

I have the Westach white face gauge from Geno's and put it in the spot that the cig lighter was. Used a banjo bolt on the bottom of the fuel filter assembly so I can check post filter pressure. I think it looks good and you can check out my member's photo gallery.

This is where my electric fuel pressure sending unit is installed. It is tapped into the new fuel line from the FASS to the injection pump. It is tapped in just before the firewall area, simplest place to tap in and route wires to the opening I have in the firewall for gauges/boxes.
