So now that my stock oil pressure gauge is reading extremely high, I need to get an AM gauge and see if the stocker is shot or if I have a more serious problem.
My question is, if I get a mechanical gauge, will I have to run a braided line filled with oil to the gauge, is that how mechanical works? and then electric you can just send a wire to the gauge? If so, do you think it would be a good idea to mount the gauge in the engine compartment, or does that defeat the purpose of getting the gauge by not being able to see it from inside the car? I was thinking about cutting a hole in the wiper motor cover and mounting the gauge in there.
Thanks
Dave
