[PIMPOLOGY]

it's an electronic gauge

you will have to locate the OEM oil pressure sending unit on the drivers side of the motor, by the rear head. Then, just splice into the OEM sending unit wire and your good to go.

If im mistaken, please correct me

Okay!

WRONG. finger

The oem oil pressure sending unit is actually only a switch. It send a signal to the idiot lamp when pressure gets below 6psi (IIRC)

What you need to do is run a search

you will need to hit up an auto parts store.
~a ****** or two, a T fitting, etc.

PIC:

That is a pic of my mechanical gauge setup. Yours will be similar, only the electric sender will plumb into the location that my oil line does.

Understand?

Crawl under the car and look at the oil drain plug, then look up and to the left. It has a single wire connector on it. If you follow the plug for the O2 sensor, the oil sender is on the same harness.
