Finally getting around to installing an oil pressure and temp gauge
I'm finally getting aroung to installing an oil pressure and oil temperature gauge in my DII. I bought this oil filter adapter as it offers 3 ports:

I went with electric digital gauges:

And a dual pod:

Not sure exactly where I am going to mount it yet. I will take some pics and post here once I get around to installing it. I still have to get a couple add a circuit fuse thing-a-ma-bobs to power the gauges and sending units.

With an analog, if you get one calibrated so the needle is in the middle at normal pressure, you don't even need to look at it, which is a good thing when driving. After you have it for a while you can "sense" the needle position just from your peripheral vision. That lets you focus on driving, not reading and processing numbers.
Also, with a digital gauge a change from 52 to 48 (or vice versa) will draw your attention to the gauge, even though it doesn't matter. An analog needle would move very little with that change and not draw your attention from the road, or trail.
