Any ideas? I'm sure you all know of the "supplies" they give you in the box, but I don't see and 1/8 or 1/4 line like I did with my boost gauge. Any help? Thanks in advance!

 

The stock oil pressure switch is located to the left of the oil filter [when viewed from under the engine]. The switch is covered with a rubber boot that looks like a Hersey's Kiss. You can tug on the boot to remove the wire, and use a deep socket (22mm or 24mm) to remove the switch. You will have to follow the diagrams in the post below in order to install the gauge "correctly".

90blackcrx has images of the sending unit and stock oil pressure switch mounted to the firewall:

Its either Endyn or GE that sells an adapter that goes on before the oil filter to allow you to connect things like a oil pressure gauge.

 

Thanks a lot guys. I'll try that. Please post something still if you have anything more simple maybe that works as well. Thanks again

The only thing that makes this "difficult" is sourcing the parts. Call Marylad Metrics for the NPT &gt; BSPT BSPT &gt; NPT Adapters that you need.

If you find a "simpler" way, I'll gaurantee it has faults. And while you are at it, buy an electric gauge with sender instead of the mechanical one. Does 200 degree oil splashing about in your cabin sound like fun?

The first oil presure gauge I installed was mechanical. I quickly removed it after reading a couple posts (2 years back) about the gauge line coming loose in the cabin. In one instance the cabin was sprayed with oil, the other instance it merely dripped oil behind the dash and went unnoticed for until the smell became prevalent.
I know there are TONS of people that this does not happen to, (I am included) but I'd hate to be the 1/1000 tha it does happen to. Electric gauges eliminate that risk.

Good Luck.

 

i heard they weren't as accurate though. True?

Haven't heard that. That may be in reference to non-full-sweep electrical gauges, where the PRECISION (not accuracy) is not as fine as a full sweep mechanical gauge. But that's apples and oranges.
