For the V6/GT 'gauge' - see page 413-01-36 of this section of the shop manual. You will see that the gauge is really just an idiot light with moving parts, and the signal comes from a switch and not a sender.

So if you buy the gauge pack for a regular Boss do you have to also order a different sender?? I haven't seen that listed anywhere in FRPP's catalog. Ron indicated that we don't even have the switch for oil pressure on the gauge cluster.....

The existing 4-gauge cluster just has the usual idiot light for oil pressure.

I would have expected some kind of factory sensor/switch. So, there's no gauge depicting H-L for oil pressure, but there is a warning light and possibly chime if oil pressure drops to zero or below a preset psi?
