Funola, nice work

Let me just make sure I have the right idea of whats going on here. Too use your device I would hook up your adjustable banjo fitting with the hose and gauge in place of the old banjo containing the ball and spring, right?? Then after running the car for a while and making the adjustments for 19 psi I could remove the gauge and just check the pressure when needed?

So I would need your adjustable banjo for all my cars but just one gauge and hose?

Hopfully this could be applied to the "M" pump as well.

Thanks Stevo.

No, the adjustable fuel pressure relief valve (inside a banjo bolt) and the fuel pressure measuring (banjo bolt) are different items and go into different ports of the IP. After making the adjustment of the fuel pressure, you can remove the gauge and it's banjo bolt and put the original banjo bolt back so you can use it on a different car.

It should work on the M pump if the thread pitches are the same.

The relief valve doesn't need to be adjusted. Stretch the spring to 27mm as suggested by the service manual and you're done.

Thanks, I see, I will go back and read the entire thread, obviously I missed something
