So I was told by someone else who owns a Mustang II, that I really need to get an Oil Pressure Gauge. I bought one, and I have no clue where it needs to be plugged into my car now. I cant find it anywhere in my Haynes manual. So... Yea.

Any help would be awesome.

you can't actually install it in the dash. you need to do like I did and get a little bezel for it and mount it under the dash somewhere you can see it. i'll try to take a pic of mine and show you what i mean. The reason they told you to get one is because the stock oil pressure gauge is kind of... how can i say- worthless. same goes for the temperature gauge, you ought to get one of those to while you're at it.

I found a place to put it in my car, infact I just hooked it to my ash tray.

I was actually kinda wondering about where it hooks to my engine. lol.

A pic would be cool, maybe there is a better way I could set it up on my dash.
