Default mechanical fuel pressure gauge

What do i need to run the gauge up to my wiper cowl? Is there a link that shows you or takes you through the install?

You need an electric fuel pressure gauge. They aren't cheap, but a leak in a fuel system is a lot more expensive. You'd have to run multiple leak-prone connections to move a mech. gauge that far.

How hard is it to run the electrical gauge? Does it come with all the necessary hardware?

Is there any reason why i need a gauge that reads over 60 psi?

The electrical gauge is easy. The gauge should come with a sender and be complete.

The pressure range you buy will depend on what kind of system you are running. Carb'd setups only need up to 10 psi. EFI shouldn't need much more than 40-50 psi.
