Trying to track down problem that could be related to fuel pumps. One seems to be putting out less than the other. I'm looking for a gauge that will measure the low values produced by a fuel pump. All suggestions welcome.

Yes Rick, go to an auto parts store and buy a fuel pressure gauge. They are really cheap and not hard to find either. OR, you could borrow one from the parts store and use it and then return it. Some auto parts stores have loaner tools... JMHO!

Thanks for the responses , guys. Think I'll try Auto Zone first. Have borrowed other diagnostic tools from them before. Didn't realize this gauge would be a loaner tool.
Harbor Freight next next if necessary. Recently purchased a multimeter with tach and dwell for cheap that works great. Thanks again.

I have not even thought about dwell for many years.
What do you plan on using that dwell meter on?

A lot of older boats use points for their ignition setup. So dwell can be usefull with them...

This also depends on what motor and what pumps you are trying to read pressure on
