There is a blanking plug next to the oil filter, i removed that & fitted a temp sensor. The oil pressure gets it's reading from the sensor in the middle of the block, i removed the original sensor from the top of the block & replaced it with a bigger type sensor that had an extra screw hole in it, so it kind of converts 1 threaded hole into 2, works a treat. Very Happy

I have an oil pressure gauge in the top back of the engine and will eventually fit an oil cooler, not got the sandwich plate yet.

I prefer the look of the top one personally. The bottom one is a bit 'playstation' IMHO.

Is there one available from a late 80's early 90's alfa if they had them (75???) that might match the look and/or brand of what's in the 33?
