I have been checking auto parts stores without luck.

Depends if you need a permanent gauge or a test gauge. Big difference.

Test guage - I just want something I can hook up with a 3' flexible extender to evaluate my fuel situation. I would like to drive a little with it to see what happens under load, but I don't think I need a permenant gauge.

Most auto parts stores have the test gauge.

Not pep boys or autozone or some other smaller places I tried. I looked on the Sears website, they didn't have anything there. I'll hit the phones some more tomorrow. I was hoping to stay under $50 for the the gauge, connectors and braided hose...

I bought mine at Pep Boys and I know I have seen them at AZ. NAPA would have one as well.

Thanks, I'll keep plugging. I tried 2 pep boys, my local autozone and some others. I found a guy that would build one for me, but that will be too expensive.

I got one at Pep Boys also, pretty nice gauge and I'm almost sure it was only around $20.

NAPA, ADVANCE, AUTO ZONE....

All these places carry these in normal stock...

You should go in person and ask for a "fuel pressure test kit"
