Default Manual oil pressure gauge port

Hi guys,


I just got my bird out of storage (pole barn) and went to go for a ride when I see the low oil level light. I shut her down and pull the dip stick all is good. This car only has 100,000 miles and has always had great oil pressure so I want to slap a regular pressure gauage on it but don't know where to put it. Is there a port somewhere I can use? Thanks.

Default

there is, its above the oil filer, though you will need to drill and tap threads into it, or buy one already drilled and tapped. Here's a photo for reference.



but sounds like your oil level senor might be bad, unless you didn't see any oil pressure on your gauge then its the oil pressure sending unit.
