Thanks

For what Year and Model?

Different years had different sending unit voltages, ohms, etc.

I have thought about changing gauges too, but since we have dual gauges in each housing finding an aftermarket equivelent is difficult.

I know 2 guys and seen their solutions:

a) A-pillar gauge pods

Gauge pod attached to bottom edge of dash

Both work. For me, the A-pillar makes me self-conscience that I will hit them with my head twice (did it once). And depending on where you put the pod under the dash will alter visibility and knee-damage. He attached them near the center console, which gave decent leg-room, and good visibility, even if around/through the steering wheel.

JC Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com) has the generic pods Rico used for mounting under the dash (2 screw holes generally). I do not know where Sean got the A-pillar pods.

Thanks for the replies. I am getting the typical low pressure reading on the OEM gauge and want to try a gauge that uses an oil line to get actual pressure readings. I understand the sending unit thread is British Standard Thread and that most aftermarket gauges use National Pipe Thread, so I'm wondering if the typical aftermarket gauge will work. Or where I can find a BST to NPT adapter. I would probably only use the gauge temporarily to see the readings.

Thanks
