I've seen a lot of 914 owners incorporate a 911 oil pressure gauge (and aftermarket oil pressure gauges) into their 914 dash. Since oil level and oil pressure are two different things, what is the oil pressure helping a 914 driver monitor or prevent from happening?
I've never owned a car with an oil pressure gauge. The stuff I'm reading on Google is all over the place and I can't find anything specific to 914s. Thanks in advance for the education. |

And if you want to improve the visibility of that light, $25 in LEDs and some wire and piggyback terminals helps.
Yellow - GEN Red - oil pressure Blue - high beams Green - turn signals (Yes, I changed the oil to RED! I dont know why VWPA used red for the GEN warning and green for the oil pressure...) This did not require any mods to the car's wiring; I used some male-male terminal piggybacks/jumpers/whatever you want to call them. I did drill holes in the overlay panel butthose are not had ot find cheap if you need to go back.  |
