Mech. oil pressue gauge
 
What is the best way to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge?

I took the factory sender off and used the supplied fitting to attach there.

I would also suggest using a braided line, not the plastic one that comes with the gauge. Those tend to leak.

I assume the ECM does not use the oil pressure signal for fuel shutoff etc like a GM does??? Often it's recomended to attach an aftermarket gauge on a T fitting to retain the stock sensor, but that sounds like a pain huh?
