On my 71 mach 1, 351c 4v engine, I have a fuel pressure gauge between the mechanical fuel pump and the carb. Initially when new, it reads in the 6 - 8 psi range or thereabouts.
BUT, at some later time it stops working for whatever reason. I have fuel flowing, car runs fine but gauge reads 0.
I realize that there is a lot of vibration in the engine area as well as any mechanical fuel pump fluctuations. With those issues in mind, I usually buy liquid / oil filled gauges.
Shouldnt a fuel pressure gauge work when used in that location?? Is there a particular gauge that can be recommended for this application? I have tried different manufactures with the same result.
Thanks!
