Two oil gauges

Has anyone routed oil lines to two gauges from a single oil port? I am retaining the original instrument panel in my ‘57 but would like an accurate pressure readout in addition to the factory indication.

Re: Two oil gauges

it will work fine, both mechanical
my ramjet 350 pegs the stock gauge at anything other than idle
i'm good with that

Re: Two oil gauges

Yep, the engine doesn't care how many oil pressure gauges you put on it.

It use to be real common for hot rodders to have a set of gauges on the firewall where they could be seen with the hood open back in the 50's.
