Oil Pressure gauge for the LNF

Wondering if anyone has installed one and where did you install the sender unit for this? Really would like to have one for my setup. Thanks!

I pretty sure there's a few hex/alen bolts on the back of the motor. Least theres a few on my LSJ. I don't remember off the top of my head if there was on my SS/tc, if so you should be able to take one out and put a fitting in the hole that matches the threads, run a line from that to the sending unit. Thats what was done on my LSJ and it works. I'm sure there is more than that but, this was how I mounted mine. You'll have to check your motor to see if it's like that, cause like I said I don't remember if my turbo balt is the same.

I think he just wantd a oil pressure gauge to see where the motor runs, there nothing wrong with knowing where the pressure is, its a good thing to know and keep an eye on besides.

Many members do this.

There are 3 ports on the front and 3 ports on back back of the block. All accept this fitting:

You just need to choose one of the 6 posts. Pull the stock "plug" out of the block, thread in this Autometer fitting. Then you can run any standard "NPT" fitting off this fitting.
