after-market oil pressure guage?

anybody know wich after-market oil pressure guage works well with a 12a? i want a electronic one that i can just screw into the stock motor. was wounderin wich one fits right without tappin the sensor threads, and is acurate? i don't want a mechanical one, that would be too easy. thanks.

You can buy the adaptor block from either Racing Beat or FC3S.org. Many guage manufacturers sell sending units that will screw into them. I like the look of VDO gauges.

I have the aluminum block from RB that goes under the oil filter and a Autometer mechanical guage.

Mechanical is the way to go. At first I did'nt think so, but now that I have them (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, and fuel pressure) I could'nt be happier. I went with autometer ultralights.
