Default stock pressuer sensor and aftermarket

Ok.. i tapped into the wire from the stock oil pressure sender in the back of the block with an electrical gauge... I am reading ZERO lbs of pressure. Does this work? Also.. i just rebuilt my z6 and im worried im not getting oil pressure... IF i wasnt getting oil pressure.. would the sender set off the oil light in the guage cluster... or am i buring up my engine cause i got no oil pressure. I did buy the sender and gauge from summit racing... but the threads are wrong so i ordered that adaptor that the cartoys or cartuners sell... did i do i wrong with that sensor or what

You're using the stock oil pressure sensor with an aftermarket gauge? I don't think that will work.

The oil light in the dash will come on, but only when it gets VERY low. By the time that light comes on you are fucked.
