Default Installing oil pressure gauge
Hello everyone, I have been wanting to install an oil pressure gauge in my 1996 D1 and I was wondering where it would be easiest to install the electric sender for the gauge. The gauge I have is the oil pressure gauge from glow shift. Thank you.

easiest would be to buy a sandwich adapter for $15, it goes on between your filter and block, you screw the gauge into the adapter. you can find them on ebay

Does anyone using this run the big *** Purolator filter in the tech section? Not sure it will all fit.
