Default help installing oil pressure gauge??

i was wondering if anyone has a walk through for installing a oil pressuregauge on a 1990 civic hatch ... or if you had any pictures of where the oil pressure sender unit is .. iknow its above the oil filter somewhere but im not sure .. any help would be appreciated .. thanks

i have a mechanical autometer gauge .. its a cheap one from like advanced .. but then i also have a electrical one my friend gave me but dont have any clue how to hook it up ... so which would be better and easier ....

the electrical has a ground, power, sensor wire, and either a illumination or battery .. dont remember

its above the oil filter, you need a 1/8bsp- 1/8 npt adapter for the block , around a 12" piece of braided 1/8npt hose to go from the block to a 1/8npt T fitting. screw the stock sender into the T and run a braided hose from the T to the gauge. Use honda bond on the threaded fittings, dont use teflon. Use a zip tie to attach the T to the firewall
