ok that fuel pressure gauge is $191

my summit gauge was something like $17 shipped and it does the same exact thing.. tells u fuel pressure

and u dont want a fuel gauge inside the car... bad idea

heres what u need.. i didnt look at the others u posted so sry for repeat

oil pressure, mechanical full sweep 0-100 psi
coolant temperature, electronic 100-260F
fuel pressure, mechanical 0-60 psi

get a dual gauge pod on the a-pillar or whatever for the oil and temp

fuel pressure should be mounted on the rail or regulator

these are most popular gauges and are not expensive by any means. autometer is a respected and trusted gauge manufacturer.

i was goin to get this instead of an a piller i dont wanna have a bunch of flashy gauges rite now... so that looks more stock... but i will get those 3 gauges u say to get... i guess its not a big deal to have the FP gauge in the car to see...
