Yes, I got a psi reading with a hand held. Dave rigged it up so that
everything can be reversed and put back to the stock hookup. He needed
a fitting to connect to where the braided fuel hose connected to rail,
connected a compression T to this fitting, and then sender and fuel
hose to the T.

Yes, the gauge is electrical.

As soon as it gets a little warmer, Dave is going to recheck everything.
He did do a comprehensive check before and is leaning towards a faulty
sending unit. It was bought secondhand but never used quite awhile ago.

Thanks. Still trying to get some definitive word from them.
