Oil pressure gauge
I am wanting to mount a plain oil pressure gauge in the car this weekend. I want to leave the factory gauge hooked up also. Were will the new gauge sending unit/line tap into the motor are there extra oil jackets on the engine? Or maybe I was thinking can I somehow make a double connection where the sending unit screws into the block. Thanks or any help

I use both gauges in my car and I just put a short nipple and a t block that allows both to be mounted into the stock location, works fine.. Hope this helps

If I remember right , it is a 1/8" pipe nipple and the t to fit it. You should be able to get it any local parts store. Talk to the sales person and explain what you need, they usually keep those items behind the counter to guard from theft. I thinks the hipple I used was 1-2" long. Look at the room you have at the back of the block near the distributor.
