I've tried searching, but where do you buy bspt to npt fittings? I need to find some to hook up my oil pressure gauge. I know the z10 has a bspt to npt fitting, but what about a npt to bspt so I can hook my stock sensor back up. Do I still need the stock sensor if I use an oil pressure gauge? I'm planning on hooking up the gauge using the recommended off the block tee method. Sorry for all the ?'s, all input is much appreciated.

Autozone has them if you have an autozone near you. It's about $5 or less for a whole bag of different adapters. They're made by Sunpro and they're in the performance parts section (Tach's, V8 stuff, etc not the clear taillights "performance parts" section).

Also, you can hook your sensor back up to the npt without any problems. I know it doesn't sound right, but somehow, it threads right in to the NPT threads even thought the npt will barely thread in to the BSPT. Just use teflon on all of the threads or it will leak.

Thanks for the help guys. That's how I plan on doing it, off the block on the firewall. I just need to figure out how to ground the sensors.

Pegasus Racing, Part #1073, about $17 + shipping

 

i grounded the sensor just but running a ground strap wire from a bolt near the front of the car to the sensor itself. there should be tons of grounding spots around....you might just have to sand down to bare metal to get a good ground.
