Looking for tricks for checking the Duke Fuel Pressure. What / how did you check the FP? Thanks in advance.

P.S. Anyone have a suitable replacement fo the fuel line o rings?

I've used an old set of R-12 AC gauges into the schrader valve. Worked great for all the vehicles I've had.

I rented a kit to test fuel pressure from AutoZone, it was a generic kit to check different cars. It has a special fitting, to use on the Duke. You remove the fuel line from the throttle body, screw the adapter in it's place, and screw the fuel line into the adapter. I had to loosen several clamps on the line to get enough slack in the line. Then connect the test guage to the adapter and turn on the ignition. It was fairly easy.
The Fiero Store has the proper O-ring.

Found this suggestion in the Ogre's Cave - thanks Ogre - I need to get in the habit of checking the Cave first! Not having any luck finding one locally (can order but none instock) but did find a few on E Bay. I like this better than the "in place of the fuel filter" style.

Be careful ordering the bass adaptor. They are often listed incorrectly on ebay and other places. I tried two different ones and they both came with the wrong size thread. They are usually for the V8 TBI fitting. The duke one is a different size.

Thanks for the heads up Dodge. Did a little more searching to day and could not find one locally. OTC makes one that goes in place of the Fuel Filter but they are 50 bucks and has to be ordered. I think I'll just cut the metal line and use the "universal" adapter that came in my pressure tester set.

Check Amazon before you cut the fuel line.

Thanks Paul - I think the one I posted above is from Actron? I ordered it - will be here Friday.

Is not made for that.
Goes to inlet side of filter. Many filter lines have enough play to take added fitting w/o bending etc. Most Only loosening or removing 1 - 2 line clips.
700 TBI (87+ duke) needs major work to use it on TBI intake.

87+ duke can maybe use that on line fitting next to battery. Rubber line should allow it to fit w/o cutting/bending but I don't know.

Is not made to be run full time. Be careful for leaks after running doing that.
