I can not speak for the 1500 but on a 1275, I picked up 1/8" pipe Tees
from Pepboys and fitted a idiot light along with the gauge in the A40
(Sprite oil/water gauge fitted to the dash) This is my daughters car.
Note females and gauge reading do not mix in my household!!
My wife blew a Sprite engine in her early days of driving, her
comment..."I think the oil gauge stopped working, the car also souinds
like a sewing machine" Thus the reason for a light and gauge in my
daughters car.
I just plumbed $2 worth of US fittings and fitted the oil gauge line and
light switch on the side of the block.
Good luck
