Re: oil pressure gauge
DONT.... the plastic lines become brittle and crack and oil pumps out. Before you realize it you can be low on oil and burning a bearing.

as allways..out to win has a point..now there is a reliable way to install the manual oil gauge..and thats with copper line..the cheep nylon stuff will crack just like he said..its a huge risk...not much risk with the copper line thou...as will all modifications..you need to maintain and check them regularly for working condition..as for mounting...i prefer a pillar gauge mount myself..as you can still see the road to check engine conditions..vs.. the dash mounted vertions..good luck.
