Hi Frank,
Over here (UK), breakers yards that specialise in older cars tend to have loads
of smiths oil presure guages. I got one for 15 pounds. Then you can usually get
the appropriate plumbing to take oil pressure at the 'idiot' light sender from
any car accessory shop..
Cheers
Tim
Btw there is a convenient sized hole in the steel dash backing that the guage
will fit into where the vents on a GT6 sit. just drill the wooden dash!
