Tee it into the factory oil pressure fitting, or just replace the factory oil pressure sensor. It’s right next to the oil filter on a KA. ---

I know on the SR its right beside the oil filter. The stock sensor is a 1/8" BSPT thread while most oil pressure gauge sensors are a 1/8" NPT thread so you need to get a male BSPT to female NPT adaptor. You just take out the stock sensor switch and put in the gauge sensor. I have an oil pressure gauge to install next week and need to find one of those adaptors. ---

there should only be one sensor on the oil filter housing. On the SR20 FSM its page LC-4, or just look in the index for oil pressure and there will be some diagrams of the oiling system, oil filter, oil pump and one will show the sensor. ---
