Oil Pressure Gauge

I need to hook up my oil pressure gauge. Does anybody know where to hook it up to our engine?

Thanks,

Pablo

Yep... next time you change your oil filter that will be the best time to hook up a "T" (BRASS) . Right above the oil filter is the oil sensor it has one snapon wire...remove it and remove the oil sensor . Then screw in a short 1.5" brass tube . Then screw the "T" manifold on to the tube , once the manifold is tight make sure it ends up being parallel with the ground ,or it will hit the oil fillter........ On one end put the oil sensor back on ( right hand side ) put the snapon wire back onto the end of the sensor .On the left hand side put the oil gauge plastic tube fitting.....NOTE : ALL FITTINGS SHOULD HAVE TEFLON TAPE ON THREADS . Now this install is for a mechanical gauge if you have an electrcal gauge it's a little easier .....just read the instructions......I probably should have did a DIY.....next time I change my oil I will take a picture to post.....let me know if you need help...I'll be glad to help you !

just a note on teflon tape....I prefer teflon paste because I've had problems with the tape sealing propely, yes I know how to rap it on the fitting.
