i have a 94 ls w/ gsr swap, and i also have both a oil pressure and oil temp gauge, which one can i install with no extra parts needed?? thanks in advance H-T!!!!

 

It depends on what kind of guages you have, if you have just the guage faces then your going to need more parts for both...

 

If you just have the gauges and that is it then you will need parts. At the very least you will need electrical wires and connections and a tube (for mechanical oil pressure) that runs from a spot in the back of your block to the gauge itself.

Oil temperature gauges, new, come with a sensor that goes into your oilpan after you tap it.

i have just the gauges and have endless amount of wire to install them. i had got the used from my cousin and the gauges are not mechanical either. so what wire do i run the signal wire to then?? i didnt get any instructions just gauges!!

You need the sender for the oil pressure since it's elec.

What brand gauges are they even, I'd look on their site if they aren't cheapo.

 

well i have a faze A/F, and a faze oil pressure, then i have a srt oil temp from work made by autometer, i have the sending unit but no fittings but then if i can just use the pressure gauge then that is cool! i got both the fazes for $30 w/ the color chang button. If the sensor next to oil filter is oil pressure sensor, cant i just tap into that wire or no?

If for the oil pressure gauge, you have the sending unit, it should look like just a large brass can.

So all you need is a brass T, with a male end to go into the block, female on the back for the stock oil light,
and I think it's a male end on the top for the sending unit.

 

ok then i will have to get the fittings this weekend, does any1 know what size i need to tell them to thread into block? and would i just splice in for the oil pressure sensor to function on the sensor next to oil filter??
