Re: Converting Oil Pressure Gauge
I would ask, do you want it to look stock when finished? It is possible but takes a few modifications to look and function correctly.
Like most gauges, they require a 12 volt source, a ground and a signal to/from the sending unit.

Re: Converting Oil Pressure Gauge
MoMa gauge in Albuquerque converted the OEM pressure in my k20 to electric. Looking at the cluster from the driver seat you can't tell. I have pics in my build thread.

Re: Converting Oil Pressure Gauge
Back when I was building my truck I fired it up once before the gauges were connected, not remembering there was AN OIL HOSE coming into my cab.
It did indeed shoot out a lot of oil, all onto a rag that was sitting there. Minor miracle, really, even though carpet isn't -that- expensive. I've never seen an electric gauge that really looked like ours but if the sweep is similar you might be able to "make" one out of a cheap electric gauge and the factory face.

Re: Converting Oil Pressure Gauge
Gotta love having that little oil pipe there under the dash! Nowadays mines all electric, but back in the day, I've made a few small messes myself with this thing!
