Re: Oil pressure important enough for a gauge?
 

Ive got a mechanical gauge

Only cost me 10 bucks, used some spare vacuum type line with thick walls and just clamped it and wrapped it in electrical tape

works mint

The elec sending units tend to fail a fair bit, Im happy

top 2 gauges for sure

Question on an electrical gauge... do you just splice into the stock oil pressure sensor on the back of the block?

What do you guys think of this Autometer? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUTOM...spagenameZWDVW

It seems cheap to be an electric gauge...

I run a mechanical oil pressure gauge sitting behind the hood on the vent. Works great. I like seeing oil pressure fuel pressure and boost. But as someone said, the oil is the lifeblood. If your oil pressure is down, you need to shut her down and figure out what is going on before you damage something.
On my other mustang, I have a fancy autometer electronic fuel pressure gauge. It broke. Only mechanical from now on.
