Default Oil pressure gauge install?

Where do you tap into to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge?

The back of the block there is a stock low oil pressure swithch. Most people use this as an oil pressure sender location:

2 things to be careful of..

1.) the stock sender is a BSPT thread... you will need an adapter. Summit racing sells the apapter necessary (BSPT - > NPT)
2.) DON"T install an electric oil pressure send onto the block.

Make sure you search how to install a sender..... this has been covered tons of times.

I got a Greddy oil filter sandwich plate at a local shop, I have my VTEC oil feed and my oil line to my oil pressure sender plumbed in to it:

I have my oil pressure and temp sender on a 4-head remote oil filter head. Makes it real easy and you can keep the stock oil pressure switch in for the idiot light
