How do you hook up a oil pressure gauge

[shanep5]

I was wondering how do you hook a oil pressure gauge up on a p5?

I used the Prosport Sandwich plate offered by Protege Garage

It simply mounts between the engine block and your oil filter and you can run your oil temp and oil pressure gauge from that

Runs ya $35 or so? Maybe a tish more

Sandwich plate is definitely the easiest. Mine has several ports. So far I'm using one for oil pressure and oil temp. I think there's one open port left.

There are a total of 4 ports on the Sammich plate from Prosport. I am also running Oil temp and Oil Pressure

Block'd off the other 2 ports

For it to fit the Pro5 space, you'll need to wire them up the tow ports side by side.

for the oil pressure which do you suggest the electrical or the mech.

i suggest everything eletrical, as do most everyone else. Hot liquids running into the cabin for a mechanical is a big risk.
