I just installed the RJE Oil Pressure Manifold on an 84. All he does is drop a plug into the additional port used for the high pressure sensor. Seems it would work if I am understanding your question correct. Here is my install, working through the gauge now. https://photos.app.goo.gl/MPbON2sRksh6gog13 Ryan Asheville, NC On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 8:01 AM Gabriel Hourtouat <ghourtouat@gmail.com> wrote: > HEY -- a question that I can answer!
