Stewart warner gauge
Anyone ever run this brand of gauge? I'm looking for a fuel pressure gauge and ran across their series. The silver face one looks good and isn't as expensive as an auto meter.
I'm really considering it but want some feed back on that brand. They say 2 year defect warrenty so?

They sponsor a few guys running the circle tracks. I don't know much about them but I will ask around..... I have seen them in my Summit catalog for a while now and have wondered the same thing myself.

Are you going to run an electric or mechanical gauge Levi? I have the auto-meter electric fuel gauge and while it seems expensive, at first, once you factor in the steel braided line, adapter for the fuel rail, gauge isolator so you don't run fuel into the passenger compartment (which are a real PITA to get right) and a mechanical gauge, the electric isn't much more money. The electric gauge also gives you a high and low memory which is nice for tuning.

I was thinking the elctrical gauge for in car. It comes with a sender and adaptor fitting. A small peice of braided line is cheap considering this guage is less then half what auto meter wants for theirs.

Thats the auto meter in silver.

Thats the S.W. gauge in silver
I couldn't believe they had an electric gauge with sender and fitting for 80 bucks if this is what they say it is what a steal. The mechanical ones are usally 50.

Well, the only thing I don't like about the Stewart Warner is its not a full sweep gauge. From 40-60 lbs is only 2 ticks on the gauge. Not very accurate. If you notice the Auto-Meter is incremented with a tick per psi.
Either would work, but I did appreciate being able to hit a button to see what my peak fuel pressure was after a run rather than try to watch the shift light, oil pressure, boost, AFR, and sometimes the road
And I know shit happens quicker in your car than in mine.

I just got off the phone with summit and they are confirming that the s.w. had a sender and was an electrical gauge.
That is one hell of a deal for 80 dollars. I've been putting off buying one just because I didn't want to spend 200 on an autometer.
