What is a good fule pressure regulator and pressure guage combo to use? Also, where is a good place to mount them? Show me some pictures if you can (Beetle engine). I saw one set up using Mr Gasket inline regulator and guage and it looked pretty good. Any other suggestions?

Know that they may "work" they are not dialed in the numbers on top do not go with the output pressure..

so 1 is like 1 -2psi and 2 is like 2-4 and 3 4-6 and so on.. the instructions on those clearly state this..

on kads you want 1.5 psi.. so the HOLLEY is a great and perfect way to go..

make sure you get the one that goes to 7psi because the other one will not get down low enough..
it is the regulator that is supplied with the red pump..

and any guage you get you are always better off with a lower "total" number reading.. this way the sweep is more detailed
instead of just seeing you are close..
