what I'm looking for is a small (1") liquid filled gauge with the sender attached to it like you see in industrial applications for oil pressure that I can thread directly into one of the extra ports on my remote filter Livorsi does'nt show one on there site.....

They are in the catalog page #67. They screw in to the hole just like a sender with 3/8 NPT part # is GTT for the 50 to 300 degree gauge. Part # GTP100 for the pressure gauge it has a 1/8 NPT. Don't make me tell you again!

Dyno,
know this ain't what you asked, but......
I have a temp sending unit mounted in the block in the normal stock location. This measures the cooled oil going back into the motor. I ALSO have a sending unit mounted in the remote housing. Here I am measuring oil temp right from the pan, before cooler. I ran the second unit wire up to under dash and wired in a on-off-on switch that I could flip from sending unit to sending unit and read from the dash gauge. This way I can read how much temp the cooler is taking out while driving. Problem is.....I spend too much time flipping back and forth.

US 1 nice touch 2 gauges for the price of one!!!!the one Scott is talking about is what I want a little pricey at $60, I can put in liquid filled autometer's for that but then I need to wire them up to the dash and would rather not cut any more holes in my dash....
