Anyone seen a fuel pressure fitting like this?

[Blaze]

I finally got the timing right on my F150 and it ran, but immediately died. I'm thinking the fuel pump bit it.

I had pressure at the rail, but now I don't. There is a little button like a valve stem that shot out fuel when I first started working on the truck, but now it just dribbles out.

Going to replace the fuel pump, but not sure how to test fuel pressure. I have normal gauge with the schrader valve. This is a weird fitting.

That looks to be a test gauge adapter that someone else has forgot to remove from the factory test port.
Remove it an their should be a regular shrader valve under it.

Awesome, thanks! I was afraid to take it off and mess up the fuel rail.

It does look a little funky. I'm 99% sure that the bottom thread is just 1/8" npt either way, so its not too hard to replace. Change the filter and check the inertia switch before buying a new pump.

Others would know better than I, but didn't Ford use a "check valve" to keep the rail primed that was prone to gumming up or otherwise causing mischief?

 

[Blaze]

Well, it came off and the schrader valve was under it, but it is a different thread size than my gauge. Going to go see if I can find an adapter or a new gauge.

Filter is new. Forgot about that inertia switch. I'll check that out too.

Not sure on that check valve either, anyone know anything? This is my first Ford.

AZ or AA has the loaner kit with all the adapters.. Never heard of a check valve on the rail, but what do I know..

 

[Blaze]

Doesn't matter any more. I got pissed off and sold the truck last night.

:LOL:

I realized that in order to get it legal and on the road, I was going to spend more money than I wanted to on a Ford.

I am picking up a 71 Chevy longbed from a friend at work this week.

Damn...next time you want to sell a Ford in haste...hook a brother up.

 

[Blaze]

Sorry dude, next time I'll call you first.

I'd rather have the 71, too. I'm a big fan of the Glamour Trucks.

 

[Blaze]

I've always wanted one. My wife said "why don't you sell that ugly truck and buy something you want?"

So I did.

Haterzzzz....

That's a little better.......
