Help! can someone tell me where to get a gauge set for the Bosch fuel

injection system on my 78 245DL wagon. Snap On is $300+ I'm looking

for something less versatile and less expensive. I've come close at

Nothern tool but they sold their last one and the clerk did not know

the make or model. The catalogue in the store was no help either.

Also are there problems installing the connections on this vehicle

as the fuel distributor is located under the inlet manifold?

Thanks in advance. Bruin. 205K miles young.

JC Whitney has a set specifically for K-jet. Their p/n: 12BS3617U, priced in current catalog at $55.95.

I like, but currently "on loan", as are the following:

1) compression tester

2) first copy of Bentley

3) outside temp gauge

4) shovel

5) air ratchet

6) Sunset book on how to build brick BBQ's

7) book on JIT manufacturing

8) 3 reliability books

9) book on aluminum welding

10) Radiator/boost pressure 0-15 psi gauge, adapters and hoses.

And various other tools that I chock up to the: "don't loan anything to THAT person again"....school of thought.

Yikes! Thanks for the gentle reminder — I'll finish the repair on your temp gauge and get it back to you. That project went waaayyy on the back burner, and I forgot all about it.

Geez, some years I suffer from really severe cranio-rectal insertion.

Email me you new home address.

Thanks, and my apolgies. I'll owe you a cold one, or maybe a brand new Fram filter.

I ordered the gauge set for Bosch CIS from Whitney several years ago for around $50 and it has worked fine on ab '80 320i and 83 244 Turbo. Kit comes with gauge, some instructions, and an assortment of brass fittings to hook up to several Bosch variants.

Good luck,
