Digital Oil Pressure Gauge
« on: July 22, 2014, 19:47:05 »
Some place in the past several months I came across information on installing a digital oil pressure gauge to back up the analog one on the dash.

For the life of Me - I can not find it. Can any one help.

Thank You

Without going to the catalog myself, start with Summit Racing and go from there. These kinds of things are extremely common and not too costly.

I saw the instructions of someone in the our group that did install in there 113.

Thanks for source for the gauge.

Some years back, Tom Sargeant installed one, though instead of a gauge I think it was kind of a warning monitor. I was in his car and saw it, but I don't recall precisely--but it surely was for oil pressure.

I remember the same thing, Tom has installed a low pressure warning (I think) buzzer because of course while driving we don't look at the oil pressure gauge all the time, analog or digital. As I recall, he used a 'T' splitter to hook up the warning buzzer in addition to the standard gauge.
