Steve Wood-You cannot own one of these cars without a fuel pressure gauge...not reliably and hope to keep it together. So far, WB-762 fromhttp://motorsportsinnovations.com/WB_Pressure.htm[size=78%] has worked well for me with PowerLogger.[/size]

I am putting together my MUST get parts list   
2-For this part (WB-762) what else do i need to order with it to make it operational on my car? i have the Small round fuel pressure gauge that goes on the end of the fuel rail right next to the FP regulator. i also purchased but NEVER installed the Caspers fuel rail T. 
In installing this sensor (WB-762) id still like to keep my current gauge. if at all possible - do you have a list of fittings required to complete this set up??


also why the this one (WB-762) which is 12 Volt in and 5 volt max out over the
WB-736b 5 volt input,  1 - 4.5 Volt out.  Besides the  -5 at the top?

Being that I think all rail mounted gauges are junk and should be smashed with a big hammer, I don't have the part numbers for the adapters.  I used this   http://www.metcomotorsports.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MFF0001&cat=107


If I recall correctly, the two analog inputs on powerlogger are 5 volts-one of them is, anyway

thanks for the reply.


BTW both of the above mentioned sensors are also 5 volt output
just one gets 12 Volts in and the other gets 5 volts in.

oh, misread it...easy to supply switched 12 volts as it is 5v off the tps...either one should work in that case

i just got an Innovate LC1 Not one of my priorities but the price was to good to pass up.   

[Steve Wood]

should have bought three so you might have one that will work

i think i just sold it

Back to this Voltage issue
yesterday while working on the car, the battery died with just the dome light on and the fuel pump running 2-3 times for about 30 seconds.

[Steve Wood]

Was the battery truly dead?  Did it come good after just a minute or two on the charger?

I have seen batteries go open and be dead as a door nail, then come back to life virtually as soon as a charger was connected...Wa s a defective battery.

Really not enuf data to give you an opinion here...

If something drained the battery that fast, you would probably have a fire starting in the cables or battery so something is missing here

The battery could not start the car.
once i jump it with another car it started right up
then after about ten minutes of the car running it was able to restart the car.

sounds like it was basically dead, or open as i said....batter ies can fail in odd ways

i have an old school tester Milton that puts a load on the battery i will dig it out and try that on the battery.

[Steve Wood]

that old school stuff comes in really handy these days.  Lotsa places don't even understand how to test a battery or alternator.

i am actually hoping that the battery isn't any good so that i can get past this hurdle already
