Having bought a combined gauge, as per MG, understand where water sensor goes(front of block) but where does the oil connect too? Having converted to a spin on filter this takes that option out so any ideas appreciated?

near the back of the block, bit further back from the ditributor you will find something with a wire connected to it screwed into the block. this is the oil pressure warning light sensor. you need to purchase a T piece adpater, so that both your oil pressure gauge and the oil warning light both connect to the oil gallery here. hopefully someone will upload a photo to explain it a bit clearer.

hello think you can adapt oil pressure light on the block with an adapter..grandad

Hi, I did away with warning light completely in favour of the gauge so did not need Tee piece.By the time the oil light comes on it is quite often too late anyway as most are activated at around 4 psi

the later sensors are higher than 4psi, I would recommend having the warning light aswell. I think some of the later ones activate at 15psi.

Well - you can certainly get 15 psi switches - but even that is far too late to save the engine ! Competition engines use ~ 40 psi switches.
