Default Adding oil press gauge to Oil sand adapter help

So yeah I'm boosted. I have one of those oil sandwich adapter things. anyways I want to use my oil press gauge BUT it doesnt fit on this thing because it like hits the block since it's so close.

How could I use it? I mean would a 45 degree angle thing work? what size would I get I'm super confused becuase you can't do 90degress or it will hit the oil filter....


let me know

I used a 1/8" NPT hose barb on the plate and the sensor, then connected them with some high pressure fuel line and mounted the sensor on the firewall.

Mount the sending unit to the fire wall, get a 1/8npt by -3 fitting. mount the 1/8 to your sandwich adapter, get poss 1.5-2ft stailess line of -3 with -3 fittings on. run that from your adapter to the sending unit.

I got a braided steel adapter hose made up and mounted sensor on firewall a others have said. Cheap and effective!
