I used the Advanced Adapters oil filter relocation kit when I did my swap. I rigged up some piping where the oil pressure sending unit on the engine goes so I was able to use both my stock sending unit and a mechanical oil pressure guage. Now I wan to make it look cleaner.

The oil relocation adapter for the engine has two outlet ports, one goes to the oil filter adapter and the other is plugged. I'm thinking of installing the oil pressure guage at the plugged port. I have the fittings necessary so wouldn't be hard to do.

My question is, has anyone else used one of these relocation kits and installed an oil pressure guage at the unused outlet port? Any interference issues with the line? Any problems what-so-ever?

Your feedback is appreciated!

Thanks for the info. No pic needed. Just wanted confirmation from someone doing this that it was working fine.

I don't know what your video has to do with this post but it sure did make me laugh. The guy kind of reminds me of one of my brothers in his reaction and looks but I don't think he would do that. :LOL:
