I installed Racer65/City Racer LLCs new defrost elbows for early heater boxes, 63-67. Drivers side was ok, passenger side was just hanging on. Replaced the hose/duct also.

Uh... I’d be worried if reading was 15 or less but what’s up with this? I’m hooked into the intake which is supposed to be the best location, engine warmed up. I throttled it and needle moves to 15 back up to 25+ then settles back to 25!
Air filter is almost brand new...... Thoughts?

I’d be questioning the accuracy of that gauge with a reading like that, unless you’re pushing air into the intake it shouldn’t get much above atmospheric pressure.
Is your idle set nice and low? Like 650ish?
Is the guage zeroing out at the proper PSI for your elevation?

I thought of that and adjusted it.... not a bit of difference! Knock on wood..... engine runs great but I’m still wondering at this reading!

I’ll look into that.... wife works at home and I’m making too much noise right now!
Ok , Huck
here is what my thoughts are :
it appears to me that your white gauge needle's Fan-Tail is bent down on the lower left , its left a dragging mark as it
sweep'd the range of motion , and in your photo its currently stuck , it frees up as u REV the engine , then gets stuck
again
i have a 36" desk top moniter and zoomed in on this detail ,
i hope im right , that was a Shpeal .........
Now THAT is a hell of an observation from an iPad photo!
*Of course..... I did get the cheapest Harbor Freight gauge they had!
Really !
i was spot on ?
i was spot on ?
Ha.... I can’t see a bend but I do believe the gauge itself is the issue! It does not read zero as starting point at all... I had not noticed that!
Refund reason
I had to cut a chunk out of the new valve cover, it wouldn't clear the AC pump. I used a stop sign that came from the base to make the piece. I get to take a piece of 29 palms with me.
