Want to install oil pressure gauge...

I posted this question with the SLK32 guys also, but want to get lots of input.
Has anyone installed an oil pressure gauge on the 3.2L engine? I have a Crossfire SRT6 and am installing A/F, Boost and oil pressure gauges on a custom 3 pod pillar. The problem is that I am having trouble finding what sending unit to use and the best place to mount in on the 3.2L engine.

I also have installed the LET 181mm pulley, LET ECU tune and SL55 intake. My best 1/4 time is 12.518 @ 112mph.

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Are you drilling your s/c to read boost?

I drilled the Y pipe feeding the intake manifolds.

Welcome, MikeR. I’ve enjoyed your posts on the Crossfire forum and have learned much from them.

IIRC, TVT_DESIGN has successfully installed an oil pressure gauge in a customer’s SRT6. Perhaps he’ll chime in.
