--USE FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE HOSE.

for an OIL PRESSURE GAUGE? HUH? No way.... most that I have put in take 1/8" tubing. Most come with plastic tubing. and are fastened with compression fittings. Throw away the plastic tube, go to hardware store and buy some 1/8" copper tube, substitute for plastic tube.
and add a "tee" at oil pressure port on engine, keep that original idiot light AND add the gauge as well.....
