Oil Pressure Sender Ok I have an autometer sport comp elec oil pressure gauge with the sending unit. Where do you tap in the sending unit to the engine. If possible I'd like to use a T fitting so I get the factory hookup also for the emergency alert. Any help would be great thanks in advance.
I believe alot of people drill and tap the port above the oil filter. There is a little port bolted on there, that isnt used for anything so you can just take it off, drill it, tap it and bolt it back on.
Take your pick......
