Re: oil pressure ?



Relocate the sender to the right side of the motor. Looking at the enging
from theDRIVERS side fender locate the sensor that exits the head on the
EXHAUST manifold side. (it's the only one!) Remove that sensor and you
can place the pressure sensor there. I hope you are getting rid of the
oil temp gauge. It's a worthless pile of monkey crap!
