so why does it have 4 ports, 1 for each temp and pres gauge, ut the other 2?

 

[mx-p5]

I am personally running both oil temp and oil pressure senders off the sandwich plate.

I can't say for the other 2 ports

 

[rooster]

oil temp, oil pressure, turbo oil feed, blinker fluid line?

 

[bgibb68]

oil feed line.....i thought it was best to put the oil feed line on the pan itself?

Hopefully you aren't serious...?

(It's the oil return that goes to the oil pan)

Honestly, if you're just going to have an oil pressure gauge just tee into the stock oil pressure sending unit. No need for a sandwich plate with four ports if you're only going to use one. This isn't that complex...

i understand....just curious....any info is good info

anyone? can you give me some tips/how to for a mechanical oil pressure gauge? thanks

My one piece of advice is replace the plastic oil feed line, that usually comes with the gauge, with copper line.

Sangwhiches FTW! OOOO, scary, just do electrical gauge. You don't want hot oil inside the car....At least that was the warning last time this topic was threadified.
