    I've been wanting to put an oil pressure gauge instead of an oil light in my truck for a while, anyone have any ideas or have done this before?

    Manual or electric? I ran a manual for a long time & only once had a problem where the gauge failed & filled with oil,broke & duped oil on to the floor!
    Now run all electric Auto Meter gauges!
    You tap into to plug below the filter for manual,into the sender point for electric!:cool:

    I'd like to run an electric, will the old sender for the light work? or would I have to get a new one all together?
