One of 3 places,
Directly out from the oil pump with a T in the line running to the cooler. This will show pump pressure.
On the return port of the oil cooler. this will show any pressure loss through the cooler .
in a tapped port in the cylinder oil galley leading to the head. Shows any pressure loss to the head.
I'm using a electric sending unit gauge so I can move the sender around. I'm curious to know what kind of pressures I'll get. I've bench run a motor with a gauge in the cylinder port and got as much as 35lbs but I never have been able to observe pressures while out in the real world. It will tell me If, how and where a cooler may be restrictive.
