Anyone here using a coolant pressure gauge.I have been trying to find a good gauge to buy but I can't find a kit that has a 20-25 lbs max. I can use an oil or gas pressure gauge but I'd rather have a temp pressure gauge.... :popcorn:

Would a water pressure gauge work? AutoMeter makes one that goes to 60 psi, there’s others that go higher, but they’re not cheap.
Like $200 not cheap.

pretty pricey but goes upto 100 PSi.
We use them to data log quite a bit. Know if lift a head and prevent possible catastrophic failures.

that's strange, I looks at AutoMeter gauges yesterday and never saw this one

This might be what you’re looking for

It looks like all the cheaper gauges are mechanical though. The ones that use a sensor go for around $200 in the states, I can’t imagine the markup you’ll have.
Here’s one of the electrical ones from Summit

QuickCar also makes one, but I can’t comment on how well it works.

I like mechanical guages, my oil and temp gauges are mechanical. I have Autometer gauges now but they have a black face and I just need it the 35 lbs gauge. The Nascar model is black but that goes up to 100 lbs and it'll cost me over $250

Interesting, never knew they made these but yeah another tool in maximizing your cooling system. Hopefully Amazon actually has these in stock. I ordered two different Autometer tachs, said they were in stock. Waited over a week while they were preparing shipment for the first one. They actually refunded the money it took so long. Ordered another one, same BS message and cancelled it four days later. It they send a message preparing it for shipment, it might eventually show up.
