RE: To those who have installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge on a 5.0
First off, throw that plastic tubing in the trash. Go to NAPA or any other parts house and buy enough 1/8" copper tubing and plumb it up with that. There isn't any concerns at all running a mechanical gauge inside the car with proper installation. I have ran multiple oil pressure gauges inside the car body, never had a problem either. Throw the plastic tubing in the trash, I have seen them brake, burst and leak way to many times. You will thank me later!!

Just throw the dayum plastic tubing away. Get an autometer oil pressure gauge and mount it in the car where you can monitor the gauge with out having to look threw the windshield. I swear, some peoples children.
