6.0 gauge options

so my old mans 6.0 is stock for the most part now and i will be getting ready for gauges and have the fp adapter. i dont have a pyro. i plan on having egt, fp, and i want an oil pressure gauge. but this will be a 100psi gauge for the low side. where should i put the sensor. my first thought was to get an aftermarket billet oil cap and just out it there. what else are my options. ik its not necessary but i still want it and wish ford wouldve out one in from the factory. i hate that the factory wannabe "gauge" is pretty much an idiot light. thanks

I think I saw someone add an adapter to the pressure switch on the oil filter housing. I'll keep looking for that thread.

I have the ISSPRO 0-100psi oil pressure gauge bought from Riffraff Diesel.

I mounted the sensor into the oil pressure test port on the front of the oil cooler. Page 24 - Figure 43 - in the 2003 6.0L Bible.



To do that I needed an adaptor that I bought from Summit Racing Equipment. MRF-MP-3071. -6AN O-Ring w/ 1/8 in. NPT Center.





After that I connected the wiring with usual protective measures - loom, electrical tape, etc.
