(OIL) oil pressure guage
 
can anyone tell me where to hook up a oil pressure guage other than below the oil filter.I purchased a mounting unit from RacingBeat but can't get to nuts to loosen them. They are so close to the oil filter tower! :molepoke:

What year are we talking about? 83-85 12A with a beehive, or anything else.
Everything EXCEPT 83-85 12A w/beehive: Remove the rear oil line banjo bolt, drill and tap it to accept the oil pressure guage fitting, and replace the sealing washers.
Beehive cars: Read, and follow trochoid's exceptional writeup on installing a front mount oil cooler, but add the extra step mentioned above.

Another option is to cut the 'mushroom' head off of the stock opg, toss the head, tap the 'stalk' for 3/8" NPT, no drilling required, screw the new sender in, install in engine.
