Electrical Oil Pressure Gauge install?

Anyone installed an electrical Oil Pressure Gauge that could give me some help with where the location of the sender goes under the bonnet?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!:smile:

There are quite a few posts on gauges and installations. The long and short of it for oil pressure senders is an oil filter cap or oil pressure sender adapter location. Drilling and tapping the oil filter cover is shakey. An adapter in the 1/2 pipe thread tap of the engine oil sender is the way to go. Promini sells an adapter, not in the catalog, with three 1/8 pipe taps and plugs to mount your sender. The holes are located on everyother flat of the hex so that after you thread it into the block the sender alignment will be accessable. The orignial sender threads into the end of it. It's a pricey little thing. You could make one from a 1/2 X 1/2 male-female adapter if you like. Good luck.
