I'll be going AutoMeter. It's what I used on my Cobra with good luck. Feel free to vote.

I'm going to attempt to fab up something that goes where the Digital Clock is currently. I never use that space anyway. I just hate mechanical gauges coming into the cab.

Bogus - the red oil warning light comes on because either the switch or the wiring is shorted to ground. The switch operates at about 7 PSI.
Unplug the switch, if light goes out, the switch is bad. If not, start looking for skint wire touching metal. That spot is where you will screw in your 1/2 X 20 thread to whatever oil sender adapter you want, or use a pancake adapter that sandwiches under the oil filter.
Heres a pix, X149, bottom right photo, D1 is not so easy to get to with big hands and the oil cooler lines.

That is one method, and another method is the "pancake" adapter that goes between oil filter and engine. With second method, the oil PSI warning light function is retained.
What I found interesting is that oil PSI gauges were offered as an option by Rover, for under $100.... back with Series I units that sold new for under 1000 pounds (sterling). In the fabulous 50's....
