The AutoMeter electric oil
pressure gauge cost me a bunch of dough.
It intermittently went south three times in the 18 months I had it on the Nova. It finally croaked well beyond the 1 year warranty period. I made my case, to AutoMeter with a strongly worded letter, and they sent me a new one. |

A blurb in the Auto Meter
destructions alluded to the delicate nature of the sending
unit. So I mounted it remotely to keep it away from the engine's
vibrations. The 1/4 to 1/8 NPT manifold is from McMaster Carr. I got a three holer because the outlets are too close together to fit two sending units side by side. The plastic line is to the trusty $18 mechanical oil pressure gauge I got from Pep Boys. It has worked perfectly from day one. |

I plumbed it to the motor with a standard -3 AN brake line from Summit. |
