DIY: Oil Pressure Gauge

filip00 · 01-06-2023, 04:48 PM

So, with wires to the pressure gauge finally in the car, I need to hook them up somewhere.

Wires 1:
These go to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor will be mounted to a T-fitting to the engine block. How do I go to the engine block from the driver's side footwell? I guess there's an opening somewhere in the firewall? Any tips?

Wires 2:
The dreaded wires that need to power up my pressure gauge. I still have no idea where to hook them up. 40to332 member already gave some great tips up in this thread, but I'm still a bit lost. I checked the fuse scheme and this is what I have:

Where should I tap into? Also, how do I do it exactly? It seems way too tight and too little room to cram another wire in there, to add it somehow in the loop. Any ideas on how I would to that?

Thanks!
