take off your regular oil pressure sensor
wich is located to your left of the oil filter
the one with two plugs
buy the tee at local speed shop $5
you will place original sensor horizontal
and the nipple for the oil gage vertical.

hope this info helps

dont put the tee into the block, it will crack there, instead use a belted line loop it around then attach the tee to the line, from there connect whatever is needed to the tee includint the stock sensor.

or a contraption like this one could work as well.


since im not creating an oil supply line to another equipment
a T should be just fine.

i've seen my oil pressure drop slightly below 20 psi and the light still wasn't on
i have in the past used one of those gay *** tee's it broke off in the block when i went to take it out but it was easy to get back out.

It's on the bottom brass tee. Don't make me circle it.

The green thing is the ECT sensor.
