Oil & Fuel Pressure Sensor Placement

Post by Legacy777 »

I'm going to be adding pressure sensors for the oil & fuel pressure and tie them back to my LINK ECU. I plan to get pressure for the oil at the stock location for the pressure switch. I'm going to get a tee and tee into it and hopefully run both the stock switch and sensor. For the fuel pressure, I'm going to tee into the line between the fuel filter and manifold.

What I don't know is where to mount these sensors. I'd like to have the line between the source and sensor as short as possible. Here are some pictures of the sensors to give you an idea of size and the general area. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

That oil pressure sensor looks like it will fit between/behind the PS pump and alternator. The sensor I'm using is a similar size, on a 90 degree fitting, facing toward the rear RH corner of the engine bay.

Yeah, that may be a good spot. I just need to figure out how to mount it. I kind of need to get all the components situated before I try and get a final mounting location.

Thanks
