    Where to mount oil pressure gauge and how to run it into the cabin?

    I am going to be picking up an oil pressure gauge any day now. I just picked up a metric adapter kit so I don't have to track the right fitting down.

    I would like to throw it into an a-pillar pod but I can't seem to find anything on one for my 01. So where could I mount it?

    Where should I run the line into the car?

    Is there a major difference between oil pressure gauges like Sunpro ($15) and an Auto-Lite gauge other than price?

    TIA

    You should REALLY buy a electrical oil pressure gauge. That way instead of running a oil line into the cabin, you mount a sensor in the engine bay and run wires from the sensor to the gauge mounted in the cabin.

    the cheapest way for me to put one in my 01 was the mechanical one but u have to buy another hose to extend it. Eather way you have to feed wires or hose. I am glad I have a custom triple guage pod for my window piller. I used a sun pro on mine.
