Using the supplied nylon tubing kit that comes with the gauge connect the sensor to the 1/8" npt port on the adapter tee.

Note: I wrapped the 1/8" npt fitting and oil pressure sensor with pipe thread tape, sometime in the future I will replace with copper gauge tubing.

Mount bracket, then connect the oil pressure sensor plug and the hose. Start it up and check for leaks.

Note: Be careful not to over tighten the AN fittings, you can always tighten more if they are leaking. If you over tighten them they will always leak and need replaced.

Filter screen that is located underneath of the factory oil pressure sensor. I choose to remove and throw away.

Good job man! Nice write up!

Credit goes to the guy who gave me the idea, least I could do was pay it forward with a write up.

Would it save space to do a 90 out of the block to the right and a 90 out of the back of the sensor?
