I am ready to install the 261 in my 39 1/2. It appears that I will not be able to use the stock oil pressure gauge. I hate the thought of having an under the dash add on aftermarket gauge. Is there a better option that would appear to look stock?

Id just use the stock one, if it's pegged you got plenty of pressure. Then put a small 80# one in the line in the engine compartment, that would be my approach. Unless you want the EXPENSIVE after market stuff.
