Mechanical Oil Pressure Guage Hello,
where is a good place to put the fitting for a Mechanical Oil Pressure gauge. I am looking to put one on my LS1.
Thanks
Tilly

there should be a small plate right above your oil filter (held on w/ 2 bolts) that you can drill and tap for a fitting. I did that on mine and it was a piece of cake. I took it to the work bench and it looks like it was molded to do that. good luck

When you buy the guage and intallation kit, they will tell you what size. I don't know the exact size but it is a pipe tap which is a tapered hole versa a straight hole that a standard tap would give. IMO you want to use a metric size.
