Electronic Oil Pressure Gauge install
Does anyone know how to install an electronic oil pressure gauge onto the 5.4 engine? I want to order one but not if it is damn near impossible to install.

I remember reading about a guy who put one in his expy, using a T fitting where the stock sensor taps in. I think he got himself suspended, so his posts may have been deleted ...

From post 4 ...

The pressure switch is behind the oil filter adapter


On my 4.2, it's the fitting coming out of the side of the block (rt. side of pic below; the oil filter adapter has been removed in the pic)
