1st, your mods have nothing to do with an oil pressure gauge.
2nd, you need more than just the gauge. You will need fittings to space your oil pressure sending unit off of the block, and tie the hose that will run to the gauge, into it... preferably via a T-fitting

Its not my job to tell you everything you need. You aren't paying me to do the job, nor are you paying me for advise.

I told you all you need to get going in the right direction. The rest of up to you.




I Can't hold your hand forever, you eventually need to learn to walk on your own.
