ive been to two shops near my house and both tell me that the oil pressure gauge i want is on back order for a few months. the do have oil temperature however. Will i be well off with oil temp or would oil pressure be more important. Give me your opinions. thanks

Oil temperature is not an issue with the stock 3s. I would recommend that you buy something other than an Autometer oil pressure guage. I have owned two and have been disappointed.

i have oil pressure on mine. it comes in handy.
my auto meter would read incorrectly when i first got it. i took it apart and reset the needle to the correct possition, and it has worked great ever since. insead of waiting months to order from a local shop, why not just buy one online? if i were to buy another set of gauges, i would stay away from autometer and get greddy gauges. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

yea im not trying to get autometer, im looking to get an spw gauge, and ive been to two shops near by and called another company in Frisco (found them online) and they all tell me that the thing is on back order. Im guessing spw itself doesnt have any on the shelf. dunno. But i will keep looking.
