What is the best way to install an oil pressure guage, is it real difficult to do, and what all do I need?

Thanks

I haven't put one on the lude yet, but all my civic SI buddies i hang with, all have them. You need to run a stainless steel braided line from the back of the block up to the autometer sending unit that you mount on the firewall. You'll need a t connector so that the stock oil pressure unit still gets readings. There are a variaty of special fittings you need, but i'm not sure if they are the same for the Si's and the lude's. You'll need a special machined fitting for the block, then the line goes into that, then it goes up to the T, then both senders(stock/Autometer) connect to that.

Hope that makes sense!
