Mechanical (giving 60psi at cruise) is plumbed to the factory OPG sender location on the block, just in front of the starter. 1/8 BST to 1/8 NPT to nylon tubing to the gauge.
Electric is plumbed off the oil filter collar adapter, via 1/8 NPT street
90 to 1/8 NPT sender. Gives same reading as when it was on the block
location above.

So, changed out from the Rotella T 20w50 to Valvoline synth 10w30.. same
pressures globally. Go figure. Saw 60-63psi on track all day, and it was a
scorcher for here, around 90*. Took the gauge off the car, hooked it to the
regulator on the air compressor and it reads the same as the air compressor
gauge, so confident the mechanical gauge reads accurately.
So, got great pressure, and running 20w50 vs 10w30 made no change.. odd,
but whatever. :) Track day went well, except for a corner worker telling me
I have a small puff of smoke occasionally from under the car. Found the
front fender liners both rubbed, so perhaps it was just that.. no oil usage
or leakage, so no other ideas. Replacement tranny and rear ends worked very
well, extremely pleased to be driving the car again! :)
