Has anyone installed an oil pressure gage on a 7A? Where is there a port on the block? Anybody know if its NPT or BSPP thread?
Thanks! |

I was under the assumption that it required drilling into the oil pan once it's removed to install the sensor. I plan to install an oil pressure gauge on my 4A-GE, and I think the pan has to be removed and drilled.

No, I know theres a stock oil press sensor for the oil warning light. I should be able to tee of that and make it work, I just can't remember where it is.

It's on the block just on the left of the header, about at half height

The 5sfe is NPT so the st should be the same I would think. Summit racing has a fitting.
