As above. I think you can get an adaptor which allows you to use your original pressure switch and also the sender from your gauge. If it is oil temp then just need a sump plug adaptor the same size as your sump plug with a thread tapped for the sender and that effectively becomes your new sump plug. Look at Burton Power's fitting accessories for gauges
