Hi
I have a 1965 Mustang 200ci straight 6.
It has the standard (stock) oil pressure light only.
Where can I get an electric oil pressure gauge that will either fit straight on to existing connections or that would come with a replacement or in-line sender unit. I would like to retain the standard oil light functionality too.

Or if someone can tell me the thread size of the sender I guess that would be good enough as I could then just get a gauge to fit that size..

I am in the UK but ship all parts from USA anyway, so buying from USA is no problem.
Many thanks!!

all of them that i know of use 1/4" NPT, and a standard install procedure is to put a "T" fitting between the engine and the idiot sender, with the sender for the gage on the other side of the T. should be able to pick one up at any parts store. you then have to choose if you want an electric gage or a mechanical, as both are readily available. my experience with sunpro gages shows horrible accuracy on their electric models, which isn't an issue on their mechanical gages, but with a mechanical you have to be careful about where you route the hose, or you'll get a leak like i did once (too close to the exhaust manifold)
 
Rt 66:
don't forget the "NPT" (not 'fine' or any other).
U wanna get the right thread pitch so U don't strip out the threads.
 
Oo thanks loads for that, Just looked up NPT .. says it's an American standard .. no doubt looking at a US supplier rather than UK then !
Cheers Loads for that !
 
Since you are ordering anyway, the aftermarket mechanical gauges usually come with a plastic line to gauge. Save yourself some problems and order the copper line kit they sell seperately. Won't melt and won't damage as easily.
