Anyone use an autometer oil pressure gauge
 
I went to install my autometer oil pressure gauge and I noticed the sending unit is a good bit bigger then the stock one. Will this clear the intake?

I would also like to know, I will be buying some shortly.

Yes I am running one. Above your oil filter there is a small oil divertor on the outside of the oil pan, it is held to the pan with 2 10mm bolts, take it off, you will notice there is a spot on the top of it that looks like it is half wway drilled through. Drill it the rest of the way out, tap it with a 1/8th NPT tap, Install your sender to the divertor plate you just tapped out, and reinstall it to the block and your done :)

Is this with an electrical or mechanical gauge? I dont see how the big sending unit I have with my electrical would fit on the block? Got any pics?
