I have a 1955 Ford Crown Vic with a "59 or 60" 292 engine. I am wanting to install a aftermarket manual oil gauge with oil lines going directly to the new gauge. I currently use the stock electric sending unit that delivers the signal to the oil light in the dash and want to keep this working.

I want to keep the stock oil light working but install the manual line also. Listed below is my questions that I have.

a. Can I use the existing electric oil sensor on the forward - driver side of the block to also connect the oil line to my mechanical gauge? If so will I need to purchase a combination electric/manual oil sensor?

b. Is there more then one location on the 292 block where I can instal a second oil sensor?

Thank,

Ray
