oil pressure take off
Where is a good place to connect my mechanical oil pressure gauge on my cross flow? I have an electronic sender in the side of the block which gives
me the low pressure light. I have an oil cooler rad and inline filter. Could I connect it here?

you can buy an adaptor with 2 take offs and use 1 for a gauge and one for the sender

I think you need one for a crossflow, about 8 quid on ebay

Don't know but some fords seem to-be 1/4npt, rather than the 1/8npt standard, no telling the size without looking (but sure some on on here will
know)..

How - I don't know on that engine, but I thought it normally considered most important to get your pressure gauge reading from the head
galleries if possible, furthest place from the pump, most likely to give initial warning of oil issues?

ok, os have taken out the oil pressure sensor that i have fitted, i assume this is in the gallery. it has stamped on it part number 11320. its
diameter is approx 1/2 inch so am guessing its 1/4 npt adaptor i need?
