I'm confused....


If you have an oil pressure sensor, then it just screws into the block. If you have an oil pressure GAUGE, then the only "lines" you need can be found at Radio Shack. (AFAIK, the Megan gauge is only offered in electric)

i don't want to mount it onto the block because it's too heavy and i don't want the nut to break off or anything. i rather find a line, and feed it into the back of the block and mount the sending unit on the firewall

Just finished my oil line setup yesterday. I dont recall anyone ever doing it this way but it works pretty good..

It's a -3an to -3an with a 1/8 NPT Tee from Earls/Holley (Summit has them)

the -3an stuff is for the turbo and the 1/8npt is for everything else.. works great, you'll find all the info you'll ever need if you do some searching. You can get -3 lines and the rest of the fittings from a hose/hydraulics supplier.

the block's thread pitch is NOT 1/8 NPT. it is 1/8 BSPT...which is hard to find. most people CAN thread 1/8 NPT fittings in there, but guess what, you just stripped out your block..

You can get lines and fittings at Pegasus Auto Racing.
Spec R correctly pointed out that the threads in the block are BSPT, its better to get an adapter then to strip the threads. You can get one of those from Pegasus as well (BSPT-&gt;NPT adapter), check this link:

Thats where I got all my fittings, they sell quality stuff.
