Oil Pressure Gauge: Installation Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm replacing an aftermarket Oil Pressure Gauge, back with an original. Need help on what goes where.

I've attached pics of AfterMarket v's OEM

Aftermarket has red wire, black wire, oil tube.

OEM: studs...hole????

The OEM just plugs into the cluster back plate like the rest of the gauges. There should be some metal u-shaped pieces that fit through the circuit board and into the square holes behind the gauge.

What keeps/holds the oil pressure tube into the oem Gauge? The aftermarket has a nice fitting, with threads, keep tube in place.

No tube. The oem uses an electric sender.

No wires. The black and red on the aftermarket gauge are for the light for the gauge. The oem runs off the circuit board on the back of the cluster.
Pull your temp gauge and you can see how it connects.
