I want to add an oil pressure gauge
 

Digital preferred. Analog is fine too.

Can I drill a hole in the oil fill cap and tap a valve stem into it then run a pressure gauge to it? Or is there an easier way to go about this?

Also is there a better dipstick I can get? Having a hard time reading the stock lines...

For an oil pressure gauge you have to install a tee fitting at the oil pressure switch then install the gauge where you want it in the dashboard. There isn’t any oil pressure in the oil fill cap.

you can order a new dipstick or clean up the old one an mark it with a file.

That would allow you to monitor the crankcase pressure not oil pressure.

That would be interesting data to have. You wouldn't want to put it in the filler cap, though.

Here's some good information

The map sensor does the same. Use one for that as well.

How does the MAP sensor have either crankcase pressure or oil pressure? It's in the intake manifold. The SS has another in the lower (cold side) charge pipe.

What problem do you hope to address with an oil pressure gauge?

Oil leaking in the interior was always my pet peeve with aftermarket oil pressure gauges, yuck!

I was never thrilled when my service manager handed me a set of these to install in some kids used Camaro or Rustang! Most times the gauges and labour to install cost more then they paid for the car! I always would remove these from any used car I purchased.

keep an eye on oil pressure and perhaps get a better idea of oil level. Cant read the dipstick for ****
