If you're looking to install a fuel pressure sensor in your GM vehicle without making major modifications, you'll need a fuel pressure adapter with the right thread size. This adapter replaces the factory Schrader valve, allowing you to directly mount a fuel gauge or sending unit. The thread size you'll need depends on your specific GM model and engine type. For example, the GlowShift Fuel Pressure Thread Adapter for the GM 6.5L Turbo Diesel engine has a 1/8-27 NPT female port, while the Fuel Rail Pressure Gauge Adapter for GM/Chrysler vehicles has a 7/16-20 female Schrader valve and a 1/8 BSPP male pipe end. It's important to identify your vehicle's specific requirements before selecting an adapter to ensure a proper fit and avoid any installation issues.
