I too I'm courous were to tap in for the sending unit, Arounf the presure senor unit? Or tap in the coolent line before the oil cooler?


Maybe a search will turn something up.


I would put it on a A pillar, along with my water temp gauge.

I suppose you could weld a bung into your oil cooler.

However, the easier option would be to doing the racing beat adapter plate.

I did that for my car.

At the bottom of the page.

I am using the autometer ultra lite gauge.

I use a VDO guage.
I also use a Racing Beat adapter plate under the oil filter.
FC3S.Org also sells a similar adapter.

I have Autometer Phantom Oil Pressure/Temperture Guages. These and www.fc3s.org Pedestal. With the latter, It's a great, finish, look and fit and It can be had for $70.
