Mech. Oil PSI Gauge problems 13B

OK So I have an Autometer Mechanical oil PSI gauge, I have it installed inside the car but can not find out where to hook it up at.

And Yes I used the search option but I couldnt find anything related to a 13B ..it was all 12As. I dont want to spend the $50 bucks on the plate from RB.

Can someone help?? And pics would be AWESOME!!

The oil pressure sender is on the drivers side of the block, just below the oil filter.


Does that help?

oh yeah also, I had a problem witht he mechanical guage. It leaked behind my dash, luckily for me its all stripped back there so not too much of a mess. Then again the ferrel that i used didnt seal too well.


Good Luck

You can get an adapter and put it in the regular oil pressure gauge port. www.tunertoys.com

You put the mechanical gauge on top and the regular sending unit on the side, just don't hook up the regular one. This works very well for a bunch of things. I will be getting oil feed and oil pres gauge from these. Have one on my turboed civic and it works great.
