like the topic says. can u buy that piece in a normal hardware store

 

yep

 

thanks

 

yeap...I use a 1/8" NPT male/male pipe(about 2" long)with a 1/8" NPT T-fitting...I also had to use an aeroquip 3an to 1/8" adapter for the feed line also...

 

For the block I'd recommend using the BSPT to NPT adapter. I'm not 100% sure that is correct, but after buying 10,000 different types of fittings it sure seemed to fit better. The strange thing is that NAPA looked up the part for an oil pressure sending unit for the 91 civic and it said it was 1/8" NPT???

Anyway, I recommend the adapter. You can get them at AutoZone stores and they're made by sunpro. They go right in. Look in the autozone "performance" parts. (No, not the clear taillights and coat hanger tie bars, the V8 stuff that is probably also junk).

Otherwise, just like mentioned above. Go to the hardware store. I think I used all compression fittings. Nice stuff.

*** Also, just because I'll feel like an *** for not mentioning it since it seems to be the big rage in oil fittings. That larry cat over at theoldone.com says those fittings are prone to breaking off. I've never personnaly seen it happen, but to avoild it, you can do something like this...

I ran the adapter in the block, then a 1/8" NPT nipple (little pipe with thread on both ends) to a fitting for 1/8" nylon tubing. I then ran the tubing over to a T secured to the bracket for the plenum in to another 1/8" nylon tube fitting. I then used the other sides of the T for the oil line to turbo and sending unit. It keeps the weight of the T and the pipe off of the block on the off chance that it would break.

I can send you a pic if that will clear it up.

I just installed my drag kit this weekend and the damn t for the oild pressure sending unit was too large and was threaded wrong. I ended up going to ACE hardware and found almost the identical t that came with it, so yes!!
