Exclamation oil and fuel pressure gauge install?

I was going to install a oil and fuel pressure gauge, does anyone know of a good place for the sending units?

Use the classic adpater between the engine block and oil filter

Make sure to measure clearance of the oil filter first. IIRC, there should be enough, but if you're using an especially long/tall oil filter + that adapter, it might not all fit under the cover.

further research has found it is better to use a hose and remote mount the sending unit due to vibration. AMS sells a unit.

That "AMS remote oil pressure sending unit line" is for 4G63 engine, where there was a place to install the sensor directly on the oil filter housing, without adapter.

On 4B11 engine it seems there's not that place, so you have to use the adpater and on the adapter vibrations are much less than directly on the block.
