Short version:
Is there an aftermarket oil pressure guage that can be hooked up to the stock oil pressure sending unit and that also fits in most ebay guage pillar pods?
Long version:
I have been putting my car back together, its 99% complete..
One of the problems left is that I do not have oil pressure according to my gauge.
I had the same problem with my old engine, which led to its death, so I installed a new oil pressure sending unit on my new engine before putting it in.
Much to my dismay it still does not work.
I tried grounding the wire to the sending unit and my guage flinched up to 30lbs then back down and now it remains on zero.
I think it might be possible that I have a short somewhere in my wiring harness that caused the gauge to go out, and if that is the case, then I would prefer to bypass that wire altogether and get an aftermarket guage.
I have absolutely no experience in aftermarket oil pressure guages, after doing a little research on here, I found mixed information on guages and most said that it would require me to replace my oil pressure sending unit yet again with a different one.

Hopefully I dont have an intermittent short, but at least I will know now if the gauge dies again. :biglaugh:
