Oil Pressure Gauge?
Well I have my Autometer from my Mustang pulled out to put it in the F250. But where would the stock sending unit be on a 1993 F250 with a Fuel Injected 460? Its not down by the oil filter like in my Mustang. There is a bung down there with a plug in it, but its a square head plug and not a 1/4 drive size and not a 3/8s size, someplace in between... Or where is a place i put the autometer sending unit in?
Other question...
It seems like the lifters are making some noise. Its a ticking. Is this a common issue on these trucks? 460 with 186K miles. I can replace the lifters no problem, but is that a common issue? The noise seems to be making noise at the base of the heads on the intake, right above where the lifters would be, so that is why I say lifters. I have 10W40 valvoline oil in it right now with a mobil 1 oil filter and it still shows no oil pressure. 75 miles with no oil pressure and I am positive it would not be running.
If worst comes to worse, I guess i can put a 7.3 turbo in it...
Thanks guys.

And the back top of the block, I dont see much... I can see the plenum and the throttle body back there, but that hides a lot. Guess i have to search further

I don't think its a bad pump or clogged pickup tube, being that the engine still runs with full power. The lifters made noise before the gauge stopped working as well...
I think its the sending unit, but I would like to put the aftermarket gauge in it anyway... Ford uses the on/off gauge... 6 PSI = good, anything less is worse...
75 miles with no oil pressure, well at least in the mustang would have ruined the engine, is that the case in the 460?
