Title: oil pressure sender "T"
Post by: trackjunkie21 on January 05, 2011, 10:56:12 AM

Looking to install an oil pressure guage and still want to retain the dummy light because I hate when I have unnecessary lights lit up on the dashboard. Anyone know where I can find the "T" so that I can retain the stock oil pressure sender and have an aftermarket one for the gauge? I remember seeing one on ebay that wasn't a Brass fitting, can't seem to find it now.

I'd just remove the light.  Swap the sender, mount the gauge & you're set.  It's not a very accurate system anyway...if you see that pressure light, the motor is likely already done in.
