Try telling that to Autometer.

Personally, I think its a good idea and money well spent. Senders arent cheap.

ok...i got me a boost bolt and a "snubber" valve. Where the heck do i mount this snubber valve in relation to the FP sender. All i got is a threaded fitting on one end and an electrical connection on the other. Maybe im missing something....

no....i fund out the black cap comes off as its like a thread protector. However, the brass fitting that came WITH my autometer gauge does not in any way screw or fit into the boost bolt.................so did i buy the boost bolt for no reason??

also, the snubber valve i got threads about 1 to 2 threads into the electric sender for my FP gauge and then stops, as if the threads arent the same..........



this is worrying me and pissin gme off as i really am hoping to get everything installed tomorrow, not to mention i paid 30 bucks to have the boost bolt and snubber valve overnighted.....i just hope i can find a way to make em work
