JMortensen Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Pressure should be 15-20 at idle, and at about 3500 rpm it will max out, I think my stock springs maxed at 60 or so, put one comp spring in and it goes up to 75 or so max now. As to the slow resposne on the gauge--It's the ferrule. (sp?) I had the same problem with my Autometer when I first installed it. I was using the crappy nylon tube with the brass ferrule. What happens is as you tighten it down the ferrule twists and cuts off the flow to the gauge. I replaced the tube with the copper stuff, and voila. If you're already using the copper tube, then you're just tightening it too much. I put a wrench on the fitting, started it up, and tightened it up just enough to stop it leaking last time.
