    Can someone suggest the best place to install the following sensors.

    For the Oil Pressure sensor. ie, from the P&P dry sump oil pump, rear of block(engine is a BAE).

    For the Fuel Pressure sensor, before barrel valve.

    Not sure what kind of car you have, but, I teed off of the back of the pressure oil pressure gauge for the oil sensor...........for fuel pressure, I bought a fitting with a hole for that sensor that goes between main fuel inlet line and the barrell valve. I can send you a pic of that doesn't make sense....:cool:

    data logger installation

    Car is a Top alcohol funny car, Have found a fitting for the fuel pressure same as advised by you "Blue oval". is it best to take the oil line from the plug at back of the block by the bellhousing, or is there a better location to take line from. email address is pricemotorsport@xtra.co.nz if anyone have any photos or drawings. Thanks

    Willie. The oil pressure I ran a line directly off the oil pump.(System 1 pump; i dont know if your pump has a port)
    The fuel pressure... there is a couple of plugs at the bottom of the K-valve. Enderle told me to use the inner one "closest to the injector" this makes for a nice clean installation , I just put a fitting in the bottom of the k-valve and then ran a line down to the sensor manifold that I made to keep the sensors away from the mag.
    I was planning on adding another fuel pressure sensor off the port side of the K-valve as well ;)

    Oil Pressure line

    Pump is a P&P and does not seen to have any other spare plugs to take a line from, unless i put a fitting in the line from pump to the system one filter and take sensor from there, any one else got some ideas, that may be using a P&P oil pump with dry sump.

    fuel pressure sensor location

    the fuel pressure hooks up after the b/v
    i used a 1" bar clamp for my sensor and mounted it outside the cock pit.it holds the sensor nicely.then i used a braided brake line hose from sensor to the location behind the b/v.(keeps fuel outside the cockpit)
    mount the bar clamp that holds the sensor where there is least amont of viberation
    as far as the oil hook up i would use the back of the block(no questions on how much o/p the motor is geting)
    hope this helps
