Gauges!!

Out with the idjit lights, in with the needles!! YEAH!

Finally, I have a clue as to when to shift according to real DATA rather than my ear/hp feel!

Anyone know the thread size for the Oil Pressure Sending Unit offhand, or am I doing this the hard way? (Gotta tee it off for the turbo while I'm under there)

go to the auto parts store, ask to see the sending unit (for gauges) and then ash to see the T's & match up threads there

Remember you'll have to yank the idiot light bulb out for the oil pressure light; the dash will think "low oil pressure" and that light will always be on.

Quite the opposite, Tom.. the gauges are already in.. the idiot light cluster is on a shelf somewhere.. and with the switch unit, the needle stays pegged at an obscene level.. well beyond the readable 80 psi. i'd kinda like it to read normally though
