Default Autometer oil pressure guage install
Has anyone installed an electric autometer oil pressure guage on the vette? If so, what tips do you have? Would the sender go behind the intake manifold?

Any tips would be greatly apprciated.

Don't you have a factory oil pressure gauge? Why add another?

You have two ways to read the oil pressure already. The most accurate and easiest to read is the digital read out on the DIC.
