Want to fit an oil pressure warning light to my car.
Would this work? https://www.demon-tw...re-gagelite-kit

What year and model?
Any alterations from standard?

If it's an A series engine you need the proper fitting, then it's just a wire to the light and an earth.

I have no experience with the one you linked, Nicklouse said it will work, just make sure the light comes on at around 20 psi

If you're going to the effort, wouldn't a proper gauge be better?
