I recently purchased a "gauge 'o rama" on ebay, I bought 10 acessory gauges for $40!! I have both a 3 bar and 5 bar oil pressure gauge. Which is the proper gauge for my b21f engine?? egauges.com for the sender???

Thanks,

Matt

    yeah, get the 5 bar...I recently installed a 3 bar, and it's pretty dumb...the only time it's not quite pegged is at warm idle-2.75 bar...dumb dumb dumb...i'll have to get a 5 bar one sometime...

    All my motors have 3 bar or over at idle; I'd definitely recommend the 5 unless you like to see a pegged guage all the time.
    Get the dual(guage and idiot light switch) sender with 1/8 NPT thread.

    My '82 240 Turbo had a 3 bar gage. My '83 had a 5 bar gage. I understand the sending units are different for each type. A B21 block will is threaded to take either unit. B230 blocks are not and require an adaptor.
