Deviating slightly from your cam and induction changes, have you fitted the fuel pressure gauge yet?

Glen:

I appreciate your comments...thank you very much. It's been a very fun Winter so far with all the dis-assembling, cleaning, assembling, torquing, learning, etc...I almost like this part as much as driving...lol

Yes, I made a very good ebay score on the fuel pressure gauge. I was able to find a 2-5/8" 1-10PSI Stewart Warner piece and stole it for $41!! It was minus the little fixing bracket and a light harness, but no big woop. I recently received a JEGs shipment with a few fittings, braided line, and a bulkhead fitting. I'll update this post with some pics of the gauge, b/c it's really a neat piece. I'll be tearing into the dash here in the next week or so. I also plan on doing the wiring back there for the relay harness/switching for my Cibie driving lights.
