I haven't tried it, but my book says don't do it, unless you mount the
gauge very close to the engine.  The book said that with an installation
at the front of the car the gauge was still showing 40 psi while the oil
warning light had already come on at a stoplight.  I guess they had a
dual system installed on the car (?).  Anyway, I wouldn't try it.
