oil pressure, oil pressure Options

My question is how can I check the oil pressure.

First some background and history. I have 914 1974 with a 2.0 fuel injected engine. PO said that the car sat for 15 years. When i got it first i changed out the fuel pump, new gas lines redid the gas tank, changed the oil, inspected with a camera through each spark plug. All looked great! Put some mystery oil in each cylinder and turned a little each day for about a week very carefully. Adjusted the valves new plugs and buttoned up. Installed fresh gas and started the car. Ran great blew out some mouse poison and some smoke of course. I did not run it to long because i would like to know if the oil pressure is ok.

If your car does not have an oil pressure gauge, sounds like it does not, I would buy a matched VDO oil pressure sending unit and gauge and install it. Try North Hollywood Speedo or Palo Alto Speedo if they can't hook you up I am sure they can refer you to someone who can. Pretty basic install. If you do not have a center console that would accept the gauge, you could just add a 1 gauge pod under the dash to accept the gauge.

I can't imagine driving one of our cars without an oil pressure gauge. Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
