Here is a question that most of you can probably answer for me...is the only place you can tap into the oil (for a pressure gauge) on that stem above the oil filter on the drivers side? I know on a chevy there are a couple of places tapped for oil pressure. My problem is I want to run my original gauge, but I want to run an additional gauge and they use 2 different senders, while i know i could put a tee on the original port, i would rather just have another access point, if one exists...

I know of none. What the PO did on mine was to drill and tap a hole in the side of the stock stem and attach the hose for the mechanical gauge there. I removed the extra and plugged it with a brass fitting. Much cleaner than a "T".
I was afraid of that, well i have to replace my water pump this weekend anyway, that will get the p/s pump out of the way and maybe i will drill and tap the stem myself....or get an oil filter sandwich adapter, gives 2 extra ports for such, goes between the block and the filter...

I've collected parts to run a braided line from the block to the firewall so I could mount both sensors on a tee there. Between the extension, PS pump and oil filter it was too crowded to mount all that on the extension for me.

Yeah, I had thought about running some braided line, but for 29.99 I can get a sandwich adapter (about an inch thick) that goes between the block and the filter it adds 3 ports, I just have to check out if there will be room for the adapter when I get home.
