How to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge?

Hi Tom, all that needs to be done is to remove the electric oil pressure switch on the engine now and there will be fittings that screw in for a mechanical gauge. You are basically removing one and screwing in a different type. It goes to the same location.

I attached a pic below to give you an idea of where the sensor is. However, I was thinking that this may not work. If I recall, the electric oil pressure switch will shut down the fuel pump if there is no pressure. Ugh!!! The only way to know is to try. If the engine won't run with it removed, the only other thing I can think of is if they may an adapter that would screw into the pressure spot and then you can attach two things to it.

Let me know.

Where can i buy this adaptor? Where can get this adaptor and what is the exact name of this ?

And exactly what is the part called? Thanks

i found out a better way to hook my mechanical oil gauge; there is port just right the oil filter. i bought a kit which contains copper tubing because of all the heat with the fittings. i thought i would let you know i got the copper tubing kit from Orielly's. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Tom, thanks for the update. I'm glad you found a way to do it. Have you already installed it? Is it working properly?

Let me know.
