Thanks for the tips on the gauge. I don't know the age of it- car came with the gauge already installed. It's a 0-15 psi gauge with mechanical sensing. The Inglese' gaugse is a nice liquid-filled unit that has a 1-6 psi range. So that's right in our target pressure sweet spot and that's why I bought it.

For the VDO dash gauge I have a loooong -4 hose running from the carbs/engine all the way up to the front trunk. I hate having that hose inside the car. Incidentally I also have two other hoses- one main -6 fuel line from the pumps and one -4 for oil pressure.

I can attest to the questionable VDO modern quality. I bought a CHT gauge a while back and the leads are reversed, so it appeared to not work when hooked up. Reverse the leads and it works. Also doesn't "zero" properly when engine is cold.
