Where's the best place to buy a water and fuel pressure gauges and not going to the dash, where's the best place to mount them in the engine area?  What's the maximum pressure settings for both?

Like to help you, but I'm not from your area, so...   don't know what shops to buy from (myself, I get from where I work at cost )
...and for the gauges, I have a water pressure relief system so pressure never goes over 20(ish) PSI and still have great flow.
The Oil gage for me is dash mounted electric that always sits at 80PSI, sender reads pressure before the filter. Not sure that helps you much.
I think for tunning it might be nice to have the gauges off the motor, but since most of my time is behind the wheel...  dash gauges for me 

hopefully someone will chim in with more help.

Thanks Rebel,  I appreciate your comments.  I think I would need a water pressure gauge so I can set my relief valve.  At most I think it goes to 50 psi.  As for fuel, I would think a gauge would be needed to set the flow rate from the regulator.

Thanks again.

LoL,  my bad, I should have read your post with both eyes open    didn't notice that you said fuel gauge, thought it was oil... 
Just to add,  I said 20PSI on the water pressure relief valve, but that was wrong. It's set at 10PSI.
As for the fuel gauge and pressure setting...  need to know your set up? If carburetted set PSI to 7.5 and mount the fuel gauge anywhere
you like. I would use a remote gauge for setting reg. and then remove it myself. Choice of placement is yours is you want to leave it
in view mounted to the motor. Seen some that looked good, but not my taste

Some of the Holley fuel lines have a 1/8npt plug that can be removed for installing a small fuel gauge at the carb.  The gauge I have is a Mallory that is only 1 1/2" diameter.  You should be able to get one from summit/jegs if you don't have a good speed shop near you.

The water pressure gauge I don't have much info because I have not used one yet.

As far as fuel , here is the route I went with.




I just realized that this was my 1,000th post!

you could always use 2 gauges for fuel. One on the motor, and a "remote" fuel pressure gauge for the dash area, it uses a diaphram off the engine area and a hose to the gauge in the dash , you fill it w/ coolant, so if the hose breaks for some "odd" reason you wont spray fuel all over, thats is whats in my buddies race car...

im still learning about the water pressure thing...

Thanks for the info but I really don't want another gauge on the dash, so just one back between the regulator and the carb will be fine.

Summit has the Fuel pressure gauge but back ordered on the water pressure.  I guess I'll just go ahead and order and then just wait.  No big rush right now anyway.  Too damn cold to get in the water and I'm still installing the Place Diverter and doing a re-wire job.  I don't the work ever ends on a boat.
