oil pressure sender location

[JohnP]

Hi guys, just got my hands on Auto-guage oil TEMP sensor. whats the location of the current oil PRESSURE sender? i\'m guessing you normally go off the same point with a T-piece... but if someone else could clarify this i\'d appreciate it.

Think the easiest way is with an oil filter adapter which the sensor screws into.

OEM pressure sender is below the intake elbow on the spark plug of the block, screwed into the rear plate.
It\'s 1/8NPT IIRC - it\'s whatever the thread of a Defi pressure sensor is anyway!

If you look at the photo below, it\'s vertically between the banjo and take off for the oil cooler hard line, and the lower coolant matrix hose - I\'d highlight it on the piccy but I can\'t get photobucket workng here I\'m afraid.

You can\'t miss it - it\'s huge! And usually covered with a black rubber hat!
