Looking to run the stock oil pressure gauge and an aftermarket gauge

Has anyone setup two oil pressure gauges.  I'm looking to add a real oil pressure gauge and keep the stock one.  I imagine I need some sort of T setup on the log. 

I was going to add the oil pressure gauge and a real temp gauge above the radio where the stock EQ would go.

Bob,

It's pretty simple.  Just add a 'T' prior to the stock sender and run the tube to the new guage.  'T's are typically available at a full service hardware store.

If you have full accessories, the toughest part is getting to the port in the block to add the 'T'.  A 45 degree elbow may be needed for the stock sender to clear a P/S pump.

Cool sounds good,  if anyone has the time snap a couple pics for me of your setups,  I'm very visual when it comes to this stuff... LOL

Whats a good solution to add another temp gauge in addition to the stock temp gauge?

It's an old pic but it does show 2 of 3 gauges. It's been redone since but I don't have pics. I need to do that soon.
