What is the subject here boys? This person can use an electric or mechanical gauge in the same hole in the block. These would have a high number gauge, like 100. Either way will give the oil pressure of the motor if that is what you want.
Jerry has a suggestion to allow a stock gauge to be used by shunting the pressure. As far as how much and who cares, you just need to know and see it climb and fall. You can use a cardboard face on your gauge that has Mickey Mouse on it but you need some sort of calibration reading or scale of any kind. But some folks want to know the actual pressure. Pegging is not Kosher in my book. It will not detect a problem. If it does not detect a high pressure problem, you don't need a gauge. What do some of us "need to check"? Please advise.
A mechanical oil pressure gauge does not know what motor or vehicle it is in. It just tells pressure. You can use one if you don't want to rely on electric. An "electric" one is actually electro-mechanical.
