You know what... I didn't even think to see if the sender would screw right into the fuel rail. Damn it. I didn't realize the Schrader valve would unscrew. I'm going to check in a few mins and i bet 10 to 1 you're right. $20 down the tubes for a fitting I don't need... I wonder if I will be able to cancel my order.

Hey Rob hope I didn't mess ya up on the fitting , I run a NNBS style fuel rail on my setup , that's why I told you about the Metco when you asked for an adapter . Didn't know your rail is already for the gauge.

Nope you were a big help. It's not your fault I'm so dense sometimes.

You made perfect sense it just didnt click. I didn't realize I could unscrew the whole thing... I thought everyone meant literally take the valve out of the fitting that was already screwed into the fuel rail. I was sitting at my desk at work with none of the parts in front of me when it clicked...

I really appreciate everyone's help. Sometimes it takes me a while and I over think things... Oh well. Harmless mistake in the long run.

I'm going at that bad boy tonight... I read a few threads that said exactly what you said though. .050" for every line/rotation on the tool, then add your desired lifter preload.

I'll text you and let you know how it goes hahaha
