Default What is this gauge?
I know it’s not factory so why was it installed and what’s it’s purpose?

Could be a fuel pressure or inline oil pressure gauge. Whats it do when the car is running, and accelerating?

Looks like fuel pressure, as it's right above the fuel rail

Always check the feed hose and clamps holding the gauge in. It would be horrible to have fuel burst from one of the ends.

I'm just thinking that because the needle is set to move anticlockwise, that it's a vacuum gauge tapped off the inlet manifold?
