Any of you know how to hook up an Autometer Electric oil pressure gauge? They sent this sender unit, and i have everything wired and powered, but in don't know what to connect the sender unit to. It looks like it has a 1/4" male fitting at the end which you connect some type of hose to, i think.... Here's a picture of what i got. Hope someone can help me :)

you remove the stock oil pressure sending unit....its located about 5 inches right of your oil filter and its threaded into the block......it takes a 1 1/16 socket to get it off, and the smallest fitting that came with the kit goes into the thread on the block, then the sending unit threads into that.......

make sure you ground out the body of the sender unit!

the stock oil pressure unit is in a different location if you got a 4banger!

looks and works good. Couldn't get that socket on, so i just used vice grips to remove the factory one.
