After an idiot light malfunction, I decided to put a MECHANICAL oil pressure gauge in my 1972 Newport. The problem is, what gauge and where? I want to keep the car as close looking to original as possible. Those utilitarian silver gauges that hang below the dash just won't do!
A Chevy guy modified an original ash tray to fit a gauge inside. Of course, he only saw it when he wanted, but I would only want to see it when the idiot light went on. Any other suggestions?
I learned the hard way on my Fury to not use plastic tube to the gauge- only copper- for obvious reasons! Carpet isn't pretty anymore when a plastic oil line gives way!
