i have a electrical auto meter oil pressure gauge. i have searched auto meters site and the web and cant find instructions on how to use this. i bought the gauge from some guy and he doesnt know how to use it which kind of sucks. a i missing a sending unit? and if i am where can i get a sending unit that will work with this gauge, or am i going to have to buy a new oil pressure gauge?

 

you do need a sending unit and you can get it from Jeg's. Its only like 27 bucks.

 

got a link to that specific part on jegs website?

 

I feel bad just giving this to you, but here you go.

Summit's site is not that hard to navigate around and they have the best prices on autometer and msd stuff I have ever seen.

 

thanx a lot. but that sending unit looks a bit big to run off a t fitting on teh back of my block for my oil feed line and my oil sending unit. woud it be better if i just get the mechanical oil pressure gauge that has the oil line fitting already built into it i beleive on the mechanical oil pressure gauge all you have to do is run is a oil line from the t fitting to the gauge instead of a big ole sending unit. am i wrong?

 

Mechanical gauges are always better
They are also a pain in the butt

 

so basically if i got a mechanical oil pressure gauge al i have to do is run a oil line from the back of my block to the gauge it self. is the sending unit built into the gauges on the mechanical oil pressure gauge?

 

okay...you run a line from the back of the block to a T, don't put that heavy thing on the block it might break off and then you would be in a world of ****, Private Pyle...secondly, just to make sure...is it an elecric gauge you have, or did "this guy" sell you a mechanical one?

 

i have a electrical gauge. it has no fitting onthe back for a oil line. just wires. but i have another gauge also oil pressure but its my freinds i cant have it it is mechanical and has a fitting on it for a oil line. so im trying to figure ot if i sholg get the sending unit form summit racing and us my electrical gauge or just get rid of it and get a new mechanical gauge and run a line from my t fitting on the back of the block tothe gauge. i think that woul be easier. all i really want to know is if the mechanical gauge needs a sending unit as well or is it built into the guage it self because it already has the oil fitting built in it.
