Oil Pressure Sending Unit Setup with 3" DP

[Chad989of2000]

I'm noticing a bunch of you guys running 3" DPs and was wondering how you installed your oil pressure sending units so you could still clear the DP. I currently have a 2.5" DP and a Greddy sandwich style sending unit, and I barely clear my DP even with using an EVO oil filter (which is shorter than our oem unit). I'm thinking about running a 3" DP and definitely don't want to loose the ability to monitor oil pressure, so what options do I have here?

Getting the filter in & out is no fun but I have no clearance issue with the sender, it faces straight toward the front of the car & filter faces downpipe. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Sorry I wasn't so clear...the issue I have is with the filter touching the downpipe...I used to squeeze a Galant specific one on but it actually touched the downpipe and once I saw one melting I switched to the EVO ones. Maybe my Greddy sandwice is too large.

You could run a tee and some adapters and go off of where the dummy light sender is?

With the stock cooler I can fit two fingers easy between the stock size filter ,installed, & the downpipe.

I will check my clearance with my 90 OFH. I think I gained about 1-2 inches without that massive watercooling jacket there.
