I know I replace the electric sender with the one for the guage. My question is... do you let oil into the line before you hook it up to the guage or hook everything up dry and tight?
Thanks in advance.

Last one I did like that I was able to tell when the engine was quart low by the needle flicker on braking or cornering. Surprises folks who've never seen an oil pressure gauge respond like that. | | |
