See any problem with this? Oil pressure gauge.

I'm waning to tap the stock mechanical oil pressure line and add an autometer gauge. I want both to work. See any problems with that? Thanks for your comments.

Re: See any problem with this? Oil pressure gauge.

Any particular reason you want two gauges doing the same thing?
The factory gauges are fairly accurate, so if you have one in the dash, why change?

The accuracy of the factory gauge was actually my concern. I suppose Id just rather see a number other than a mark.

No problem, there are a couple places to hook up the tube to, you don't have to tee off the same spot. one is back by the distributor, another down by the oil filter on the block. nice looking gauge.....

Depending on the engine, some of them also have a port above the timing cover on the front of the block. It would be 1/8" NPT.

Great looking gauge. I t would be very attractive, INHO, if all the factory gauges were removed from the dash, and gauges to match that oil pressure gauge were installed. I've seen some examples of owners subbing in aftermarket gauges in the dash, and like the look.
