Quick Oil Gauge Question
I have an 83 rx-7 and the oil pressure gauge only works when the wind blows the right way so I bought an aftermarket one, but can't seem to locate the oil pressure sender.
So could someone tell me were the sender is?
(sorry, I'm still a n00b)

If you have or can borrow a 3/8" NPT tap, cut the head off of the stock 'mushroom' sending unit, tap it and most aftermatket gauges come with a 3/8" NPT adapter for the new sending unit. If you want to keep your stock gauge and sending unit, tap the banjo bolt that holds the oil line to the bottom of the rear iron, either way is quite simple.
Thread pitch for the stock sending unit is 28 BSPT, (British Standard Pipe Thread).
