question about upgrading the fuel system

[87grandnat]

ok just ordered a walbro340 and hot wire kit from racetronix along with a afpr from ramchargers, my question is....is it a necesity to have a fuel pressure gauge with this stuff or not, money is kinda tight and i dont wanna order one unless i have to, thanks for any help.

A portable test gauge should only run $30 to $40. You could get by with that until you have the money for a regular mounted gauge (which I highly recommend - wouldn't be without mine).

Best to mount the gauge on the fender skirt and not the engine. Vibration could distort readings.
