Schrader valve

Are the guts to the schrader valve readily available, or universal? I need to put one back in the fuel rail when I disconnect the fuel pressure gauge sending unit. Thanks.

Re: Schrader valve

i believe they're universal, when mine was missing i grabbed one out of my cpi parts engine. as long as you don't get one from your tires i think you'll be good

Re: Schrader valve

Where is it located on a CPI engine?

....and is it removal / installation done with a standard tire tool?

its located right where the fuel lines attach to the intake at the back

yes the same tool

also the body of the valve is removable as it is threaded into the fitting which the lines attach to

Thanks for the help guys. I'll grab one today.

Re: Schrader valve

i would say they're pretty much all the same across the board. i'd just make a pass through the local salvage yard with a tire core removal tool and get a couple

Re: Schrader valve

I did that yesterday. Just pulled a couple from CPI setups with a core removal tool; the guy gave them to me. FWIW, I called the local GM dealership looking to see if they had one new (didn't know if there was any rubber on the core that might be dried up / cracked from sitting in the boneyard), and they didn't even list / show one on their diagrams, or have a PN listed. I found one in a rail that still had fuel in it, but it didn't look like there was any rubber; it dropped right into my rail and works fine.
