did you already screw something in it and screw it up? it's an 1/8 bspt thread. if you use any other type of fitting you will strip it out or if you try to tighten the crap out of it. many people strip it out trying to force a 1/8 npt male fitting into it. if you are wanting a fitting for it sunpro and autometer make 1/8 bspt male to 1/8 npt female fittings so that you can run your oil lines.

you need a BSPT to NPT adapter, you don;t need to tap anything, as amatter fact, DON'T. Not when the motor is still in. if you;re having any problem, let me know

use pretty much those parts, but i would mount the t on the firewall and just run a line to the bspt adapter to relieve weight/stress on the mount in the block. it also makes it easier to put it in w/o messing it up.

if you have a BSPT adapter, you will not put any stress on the block. if it's the incorrect thread, then yeah, you are putting stress on it.
think about your exhaust manifold or intake manifold or PS bracket. they're all uses a correct thread, therefore, you'll never put too much stress on it
FYI

Re: What tap to use on block. for oil feed line. (Flamenco-T)
i got about 3 feet of stainless line, but nothing else. Where can i find this adapter that's shown in the pic?? I live about 30 min away from summit, so that's what i was gonna try, but i am unsure what to get. I have a t3/t4 from a drag kit (i think)? do you know what size fitting it is into the turbo. I got my coolant lines and return line figured out, its just this feed line is giving me some trouble.
Thanks for your help

Thats for the dummy light on your dash. You can just leave it disconnected. By the time that light goes on, your engine is probably already gonna be damaged anyhow. Most people leave it hooked up tho.
