Oil Pressure Gauge

[evan almighty]

I have a ProSport electric oil pressure gauge, the sender is too big to screw into the factory location without hitting the oil filter, what should I do or do I just buy The oil filter adapter plate from ProSport?

Might as well add as well, How do I install My electric Fuel Pressure and Boost gauge. On my last motor when I T'd off the FPR hose, the gauge red only vacuum and my BOV stopped opening.... wtf

Get a stainless steel line kit from Autometer for around $40, use one of the included adapters on the block, and relocate the pressure sender somewhere it fits.

Best place for boost signal IMO is the hot pipe. Use the same vac line that goes to your wastegate. BOV line is not going to work it is not the right source.

For fuel press you have to add a tee in the fuel line for the sender.

Another option is to get an elbow fitting with the proper threading. IIRC, the prosport sending unit needs an adapter anyways as it's running the wrong pipe threads. For my autometer, I picked up a 90 degree elbow to angle it away from the filter.

In the future, I plan on running a relocation kit and would love to run a dual fitting so I can retain my stock dummy light sender.

A short brass elbow works fine too, definitely avoid any adapter setup that hangs the weight of the sender(s) off of the threads at any distance from the block. I had a straight extension and a tee on mine once, with both OEM and aftermarket sender attached.

This allowed the whole thing to bounce up and down during driving, and the threads broke off the brass pipe where it screwed into the block, and I pumped all the engine oil out onto the ground. Luckily the oil light lit up and I was only going 30 mph after leaving a parking lot.

The mile-long stripe of oil on the pavement was visible for 6 months!

The ss line kit from Autometer #3235 has a bunch of adapters in it. I have used one on SR's over 100 times. It screws in about 6 turns before the thread difference NPT vs BPT binds it up. Just tighten it down a few more turns without stripping the threads, and it works great, very affordable.
