oil pressure sending unit(s)

The best way to deal with this problem is to go to Miata.net and look in the
garage section. There is more info than you would care to know concerning
oil pressure senders, gauge mods and the like. A major problem is the type
of thread used on the sender and block. An adapter is usually necessary to
use a "standard" sender. There can be clearance issues as well.
I've thought about doing such a mod several times. A complication is that
there is a "tee" used to connect a line going to a turbo.
I'd need to obtain two different length lines, and tee a new sender into the
junction between the lines. A remote filter kit may also be used to host a
"standard" sender.
