oil pressure gauge silvertop

[AceSniper]

hey I just gota eletrical oil pressure gauge an im woundering how I can bolt it into the bock since the sender is quite big and wont fit in the powersteering bracket to bolt upto the factory place... so hows it done? do you have to remove the bracket screw it on an put the bracket back on? use a diffrent sender?
And also if I put the factory oil switch wire onto the sender will it work or will the oil light stay on... or is there another way to wire it up?

any info from someone thats done it will help me heaps thanks

ok done this before and got it on my gtz ae101" this is a rangy way of doingh it but it works "
go to rip of co and buy a trisco oil pressure hose kit $10 or $12 retail
plug the hose kit in then mount the sender were ever " making sure the sender is earthed out constintly by making a bracket"
and hiding it
later on u mite wanna get some braded hose line

hmm its a possable option if im to lazy to pull the powersteering... was wanting to bolt it in so there was no weak points, also what did ya do with ya factory oil light wire?

Oh this is easy...
Go to your local engineers shop and buy a brass fitting T shap, that will plug your existing oil presure light (factory) thing into, and on the other end have a fitting for your new gauge. As for the power steering pully in the way, increase the size of the rod so it comes out past that, or drill a hole in the botom of the pully holder upwards.
I have got a 3way T on my 20v turbo.

you have to take the power stearing of anyways to get to it
and az for the light u can ether t in to it via a brass t fitting from palkels on kalerny rd or leave it unpluged if your gauge drops below 15-20psi check oil level and everthing else

but i never thought of lenthing the tensioner arm on the p/s unit mmmmmmm mite look into that

run one of these on your oil filter location, put the oil filter onto it.
Then purchase Autometer part number 2269 which is NPT/BPT fitting the BPT fitting attaches to one of the ports on the block adapter and get some braided line run from bpt adapter to braided line then put your sender onto the end of that, strap the braided line on your P/S line in the 20V. that's the way I will go, one other 20V'er here did the same setup.

If i use this oil filter setup will it show a lower oil pressure from what it would at the other location... and also that other part you said about... what is it? just something that extends the pressure pickup away from the fillter?

should stay the same psi were ever u put it
