How difficult is this gauge to install? I'm talking about a 1974 Chevy Caprice Classic 8.

The guage is not difficult to install at all, it is just a matter of removing the bolt that currently occupies the test port and attaching the supplied fittings and then hose/guage.The difficult part can be how much room you have to work with between the transmission and the bottom of the car. The 90 elbow supplied with the kit helped out for me.

If your car has a pressure switch then very easy. For me I just had to remove pressure switch find which adapter was the correct thread and is screws right in.

It is easy if your trans has a test port. It's not meant for a permanent install, just testing.

Sorry no idea. This is large gauge than something you would get at Petsmart, the reason I bought it.

The technical answer depends on the distance from your battery to your amp. As long as it is less than 15 feet of wire (quite likely, unless you are installing it in the rear end of a Suburban - then it's dodgy), 8 gauge is plenty to give you less than a 3% voltage drop. From 15-30 feet, you should use 6 gauge. 4 gauge is really overkill unless you are in the 30-50 foot range, which you'd never come close to, unless you're installing this in a motor home, and even then you wouldn't hit 30 feet unless you're installing it on the opposite end of the vehicle from where the battery is.

In theory this should fit. It did not fit the opening in my tank but I can't remember the details. I do remember that the W. Beckett Corp was very helpful and sent me a coupling at no charge so the gauge would fit my opening and it works just fine. Perhaps you should contact them.

I have two gauge in mine. That's prob. Pretty close to as big as it goes due to size of the connector that wire goes into.

I would double check on that pressure gauge because the newer Colorado's do not have Boston valves. If it is the one that I looked up on Amazon, judging by the pictures, it does not seem to have the right adapters for the newer valves and seems to be set up for Boston Valves.

I have not used any scientific measures to determine the accuracy of the gauges, but it seems to be fine. IMO, It gives you an idea of what is happening with your coolant temp. Certainly better than just a trouble light. Airflow shouldn't be an issue because the sensor is immersed in coolant and not exposed to air. Besides, it goes in place of the the stock sensor which is where the manufacturer placed it for accuracy. Just follow the instructions and it should go well. BEST WISHES.

Thank you I had thought so but when I got the charge/controller it said to use this weird formula to figure gauge size. Go figure. Again thanks.

The face of the gauge is black with white fuel level increments. the portion of the gauge that goes through the mounting hole is 1.985" in diameter and the gauge face measures 2.232" in diameter. Hope this answers your questions.

It mounts very well, just take your time tapping it. I had an 88 also. Good luck!

Here, check this out. 8 gauge and 4 gauge are correct, depending on the distance the amplifier is from the battery. The closer it will be, the less resistance created, thus you can use smaller wire. Also, like others said, the terminals are 8ga on the amp, but you can also use adapters to go from 4ga wire to 8ga terminals. Stinger makes some nice terminals like this that I am using on my setup.http://www.crutchfield.com/S-81IQYmtv6S3/learn/learningcenter/car/cable_gauge_chart.html

Hi Jane, it is good but not great. The higher end gauges have a better coupler.

You'll need to cut the pressure line from the pump to the EFI. Install a tee fitting and place the gauge in the tee. Should look nice. I use it on older vehicles, carbureted, and to monitor the pressure insuring that it is at 7-8 psi. I think you need a higher pressure for the efi. Before you go and buy this one, check the vehicle fuel feed pressure requirements. I believe yours needs to read to 45 or 55 psi.

I don't know what the gauges but it's about as thick as to shower curtains put together. just make sure you have a heavy duty curtain rod because it has some weight to it. My Ride fell at 3 in the morning and scared the hell out of everybody in the house. lol

I did not have a pressure gauge installed on the vehicle when I purchased and installed this pump. It was installed on a customers 1952 Ford as a pusher pump that fed the front mechanical fuel pump. Sorry I could not help.

I used an 8 gauge wire and it worked fine for me. Just make sure that it is actually 8 gauge of wire, a lot of the time wire gauge is falsely advertised.

Not hard at all. Took me about an hour. All you gotta do is remove your factory intake and plug this one in. Instructions are pretty clear
