Oil Pressure Gauge install questions
Thread is darned near 5 years old!! lol
What's with all these old threads poppin up recently? lol
Just because it's old doesn't make it any less relevant. I actually prefer bringing up old
relevant threads instead of making new ones asking the same question as an old.
Anyway, I have a mechanical gauge in my Duster. Previous owner installed it. There's a big messy coil of thin tubing under the dash. Hard to reroute. I'll probably change it when I can because of the lessons I've learned.
Once I had a '65 Mustang that the previous owner installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I guess it was an 'el cheapo' because it used plastic tubing. Anyway, that tubing somehow found it's way onto the header.
Needless to say, it burned up while driving South on the 710 (Los Angeles folk will know) and was squirting a steady stream of oil onto the header. Smoke was pouring everywhere! I don't remember how I plugged it up to get home. That was like way back in '95 or something.
Moral of the story, run electrical because you don't want that oil line to break, especially at a point inside of your car.
