well what brand gauges are you using? did they NOT come with instructions?? does your factory temp gauge not work? you proly need to use an oil filter sandwich adapter for the oil press gauge sender unit to thread into. thats how i installed one in my b16

But where is the oil pressure sender?

I have everything else figured out I think. What we though was the pressure sender (above the filter) is not, unless we are completely confused.

wait wait...so you trying to use an aftermarket oil press gauge with the factory sending unit?? uhhh this gauge you have should have come with a pressure sender sensor that you attch to the block like how i said. or a t fitting where the factory one goes. its a 1 wire sensor by the oil filter

Yea we have a fitting that should screw into the block, then a line goes to the gauge and the sensor screws in to the fitting.

I did not buy the gauge, so I don't know what all came with it. Just trying to figure it out now. Thanks for the info.

so you have a T fitting sounds like...you remove the oil press sensor from the block..attatch the T fitting...attach the oil press sender to the end, then the aftermarket
