[Spridgets] Fuel sucking vacuum problem on Pinky youtubes to follow.

[Linda Grunthaner]

Bill,
I did a search and could not find FLAPS but found these below. Then I got to
thinking I love to know exactally what my little car is doing and love
gauges, so I want to install some extra gauges under the dash just in front
of the shifter (I would love to be brave and cut my dash like Frank did but
not for Pinky) would there be a psi gauge I can attach permanently fore fuel
psi? if so would that connection be a tube permanently mounted before the
carburetor and will that effect flow to have on all the time?
