I've got mine right on the intake manifold, yeah, I know...a bit of a heat sink I suppose, but I was trying to stick to as "stock looking" as possible approach, seems to work.

What I've learned is a fuel gauge is NO different than any other that needs to be monitored while driving so what good is it under the hood? I have solved several fuel/carb issues do to too MUCH or not enuff fuel pressure under hard load where it matters...........you can idle on 1 lb. try that at 5000+ rpm`s and get back w/us.............

I run both as I like to take a peak at it while doing maintenance. The black wire on mine goes inside to the Racepak and also monitored on my dash. You can never be to safe.

I get it BUT, you sure can spot an issue like a stuck N&S which could kill the oil in short order or like on a car I built a carb for w/damn near zero pressure as we approached 5000 r's. To each his own I guess........... I actually agree with you and of course since I did not buy a fuel gauge for in the car when I switched from the Holley red pump with no ext reg to the black pump with the ext reg I just mounted this gauge right on the reg so I could set my fuel press with the adjustable reg. And I also agree the fuel press gauge is a great diagnosis tool as I have been a tech most of my adult life since 1974. But I also can tell if I am having a fuel problem pretty quick since I have been a tech most of my life and have never had any major problems with my car from a fuel press problem to warrant a gauge in the car. And living on disability I have to watch my cash flow closely. Thats pretty much why I did not install a fuel press gauge in my car. But again I do agree if you install a fuel press gauge on your car its best to install it where you can watch it while going down the track and if I was not such a cheapsake I would buy the in car gauge and install it on my car. Course if I had more play money I would also be a little faster. Ron

Carb gurus will tell you to never solid mount a regulator. Always let them hang off the lines. For a single 4 Holley type application they always are mounted on pass side of engine hanging from the lines.
