Gonna be putting on a mechanical gauge for my oil pressure tomorrow since my dash one is still crapping out. What position would be better for a good oil pressure reading? I was thinking of elliminating the pressure sender and the brass adapter all together, and feeding my line in there. Or possibly one of the block plugs down by the oil filter I hear? I might be mistaken, but I know there is a small threaded allen head plug down on the side of the block somewhere. Was also thinking of putting some sort of heat shrink or cover over the feed line to protect from heat or damage. Please give me some feedback on this guys because I haven't had to run one of these things before. By the way the truck is a 5.7 Vortec and thanks in advance!
