If I remember correctly... You can't run the poppit on a one piece adaptor. I am looking into it.

Okay... So my poppett was gutted... It had a drain on the cover as you can see. The only other piss hose came from both stat housings plumbed together as you can see all this in the picture.
Refer to my earlier post for the other stuff needed.

I can't guarantee this will work.. But it worked for me.

The best thing to do is get rid of the Merkery.... Look at that thing... It looks like it was wired by a Grade nine autoshop class. SHEEEESH!

Nope.... one piece. no poppit, no stats.

I bet all I had for pressure at wfo was 12psi. Worked fine.

i didn't realize that about yours..this will light a conversation i have a 2.5 200 efi one piece(small holes) WITH poppet and stats i run about 12 psi WFO..i think .on a longer hard run ya the gauge slowly comes not up maybe if i stayed in it for miles it might get to hot but i haven't had a problem about 75 hours like this. i put my gauge probe in hot water with a thermo to test so i knew exactly what i was running on the dash.
