If you have anlready done this install or know how anyways, please let me know. Any pics of yours would be great also. If there is even a stock OPS, please let me know.

Thanks

Above the filter is the factory oil pressure sending unit, take off the connector and remove the unit.

I went to NAPA, got a brass 1/8 NPT T, and a 1" NPT thredded brass tube. I installed both to that because both oil pressure sender factory or aftermarket can not share the same circut.

My friend just used the factory oil pressure sending mount and some electrical tape to cover the oil light. Crafty, but yet lame right?

Look what they have in 1/8th in NPT fittings where ever you go, although you might need some different setup for your vehicle. Should not cost more that $5.00.

And teflon tape!

Look for oil pressure adapter on ebay.. they have a few there.. It's just a peice that goes in between your filter and the engine.. There's like 2 or 3 ports where you can connect a line for a temp or pressure sensor..

Oil pressure sensor and oil temp sensors in my Greddy adapter - third one is unused for now. This sits between the original filter mount location and your oil filter:

E-bay oil filter adaptor for free here also. I made sure that I got 2 adaptors to fit most setups. NPT.

I got the filter relocator.

I'll even ship it to you/anyone for nothing.

thanks a lot for your guys' input and help. I figured it out. I didnt' even need any of the NPT fittings. I moved the dipstick holder to the side to work and then moved it back. Works just fine. Here's what is reads:

Idle : 13psi
Driving 3rd gear at 3k rpm: 47psi
Full throttle: 52psi
