i'm doing it right now,
not that hard... what guage did you get ? I used a Fitting from www.tuner-toys.com it has the correct threads on the adaptor for the oil pressure switch with a 1/8" NPT adaptor for the guage. Kun

I got the Autometer Phantom Oil Pressure.
Do you have a direct link to that part you used? I looked on that site and found nothing. I need to get this done before next thursday. How fast did they ship you that part?

Is the oil pressure switch the thing above, and slightly to the left of the oil filter?

Re: Installing Mechanical Oil Press. Guage.
Be careful with those mechanical oil pressure gauges. I've seen those lines kink or pull from the guage resulting in a nice mess inside your car.
