    Unhappy Oil pressure guage

    I can"t believe my Series II VP BT1 doesn't have an oil pressure guage!Even my bunky old VL had one.Searched a few sites but can't find a dash with one in,somebody told me that there are no VPs with a guage,say it isn't so!!

    They don't have a gauge, but you can easily install a T-Piece on your pressure switch above the oil pump, and run an aftermarket sensor + gauge to your dash

    Ok thanks Pub24/7 and Morton,I guess that confirms it.I can understand Holden not putting them into base level "poverty pack" Commodores due to cost but why not in Calais or SS,you'd think that people buying those would expect full instrumentation!

    yep, i agree, when the vl dash is actually working, they are sweet. Most people around here are dash tappers to get there fuel gauge to work lol. Yours seems to be working though
