yes is it electric or manual gauge,,, either way you need to look under the car, rear of the engine, an above oil filter housing is the oil preasure switch, take it out, you will need a oil preasure socket , go to your local autozone they rent one for 5.00 an then take it back an get your money back, once you take it out alittle oil is going to come out, be carefull an dont make a mess, once you take it out, you can screw the new sender that comes with your gauge kit in the hole, make sure you use the right size an no damage the block, also DONT OVER TIGHT IT EITHER can crack the block....the way I do it is go get a tee fitting an use the factory oil preasure gauge an the new aftermarket one, then your oil light doesnt come on,,,, once you got the sender in, if its manual you have to run your plastic line in the firewall to the sender, then you have to use the kit to install the line on the sender make sure you dont fold the plastic line, make sure its straight so it flows good, then hook your line up USING TEFLON tape so it doesnt leak aroung the fittings, you can get that at autozone for about 3.00.....once you done that hook your red to any key on power source i usally stick it in the radio fuse, then black to the ground, if its electrical one, then you have to run one more extra wire to the sender you just installed on the block hope this helps, if not go to AUTOMETER .com they have full info, thanks Joshua
