ok i found it and put in the new presure gauge
but for sum reason its really not doing what it should
the stock sensor (one wire)
i cut off and spliced that wire with the gauge wire and hooked them up to the new sender switch
then ran it to the gauge
now the gauge worked for about 5 min while it was sitting in my drive way then when i started to drive it dropped the oil light (oem) on cluster?
but its WAAAY full and i could feel any leaks when i stuck my hand down there?
but i'll have to wait to see it in the morning to double check
and make sure nothing is leaking

does anyone know if i have to get a T- connection and use the stock sender switch in conjunction with the gauge?
