:rolleyes:Anyone now how I can install an oil pressure indicator on my car???

 

Thank you.

buy one, and install it.....

 

your oil pump has two threaded passages for this purpose.

one for the idiot light, and one for a pressure gauge.

next time you change oil, you can unscrew one or both and take em with

so you get the proper threaded gauge.

the stock gauges are notoriously innacurate, as is my speeling of late.

Sorry my stupid question but....how can reach that connector from my oil pump??

 

Thank you allot.

gauge is either electric or has a fragile plastic line that you run up into your dashboard.

Thanks.Hope I will manage with this.

........has anyone a picture with oil pump to see that connector for oil pressure indicator? Will be verry apreciated.

Thanks.

Ok here are some pics of how I installed my autometer gauge:

 

 

Connect the pressure sender unit to the port on the oil pump that is at an angle. To do this you need an adapter

 

 

Not sure what the thread pitch is on the pump side, I had to take the plug that was originally in the pump out and take it to an autoparts store.

 

Then just route the wire from the sending unit to the gauge and splice into the lighting circit to get power to the lights. I think I tapped into the radio lights so my gauges dim with the dimmer switch on the dash, if you don't care you could tap into any 12 volt feed to get lights. The gauge that I bought came with instruction telling me what I need as far as electrical requierments.

 

Then find a place on the dash for your new gauge.

 

Good luck

I ran a mechanical oil pressure guage. I had to get one of those extension kits to make it fit.

Here's some pics I took of the setup, hope they give you an idea:
