Could someone please explain the oil feed line fitting to me?
Once again, car is a 94 GSR...doing a turbo project. I need to figure out how to connect the oil feed line to the engine. I already have the following:
Autometer 1/8 BPST to NPT fitting,
1/8 NPT to NPT pipe connector,
1/8 NPT T-Fitting.
I know I need a 1/8 NPT to a -3an fitting...is there somewhere online I can get that, or would a Napa or CarQuest or AutoZone have that part? I went to Advanced Auto Parts to try to get that fitting and they had no idea what I was talking about. Also, I know this connects to the oil sending unit via the T-fitting, but how do the other parts fit in to the equation? I'm guessing the 1/8 BPST to NPT fitting goes where the oil sending unit went on the engine, then the T-fitting goes on that, then the oil sending unit goes to one part of the T-fitting and the 1/8 NPT to -3an fitting goes to the other part of the T, but where does the pipe connector come into play? The T I got is 3 female ends...did I buy the wrong part? Where would be a good place to find those parts if I did? I tried looking on Summit, but I can't find ANYTHING on that site
Thanks for any help

If you want to email me a pic of what you have, I can supply you with all the fittings that you will need. I supply most of the lines to a lot of guys here
or take a look at this pic from my oil feed line kit and tell me what you don't have..
