Bob theres no one place to point ya to as they are located in different places depending on application, I'd check the manual or call Prevost an ask where it should be! I've seen 'em on both sides, the front, and off a hose to a soleniod set-up, an I'm not real familiar with Prevost's anyway! |

If you have a mechanical oil pressure gauge in the engine compartment see if the sending unit for the dash gauge is in the same place-- many buses use a manifold with a hose running to the engine to take the oil pressure reading, the sending unit could be there otherwise it is screwed into the side of the block next to the flywheel housing.

Thanks guys.
No mechnical gauge in the engine comp. It's an electric gauge. Guess I call some mechanic dude and ask. |

On my old one it was on the forward bulkhead, slightly right of center above the engine. On that assembly is the rear oil pressure gauge. |

FOUND IT!
It was right in front of all the time. Jon W. you are right it's right wher you said it is.
Now to figure out why it's notworking. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a mecanical gauge and put it along with a new sending unit. |
