<VV> oil pressure sender installation

[Roger Gault]

Mine's up on an extender pipe (short piece of 1/8 pipe and a F-to-F
coupler).  I've heard a couple of negatives about this arrangement.
1)  Vibration might eat out the pipe thread in the case.
2)  Since it's right next to the alternator pulley, belt failures might snag
it.

I haven't had any problems.

The adapt-a-bolt seems nice and neat but is a little pricey (~$21) and might
get in the way during oil filter changes.  Running a line seem like the way
I may go but you've got to get the right fittings and I've heard of lines
breaking due to shaking.  There's also drilling and tapping a hole somewhere
else but I want to avoid making permanent changes to my car. I can't just
screw the thing into where the switch is because it just won't fit!  Dadgum
packaging efficiency.
