Ok I'm about to install an autometer oil pressure gauge in my car... The thing is that I want to do it right... Not a matter of money saving...

I want to put a stainless steel braided line instead of the nylon tubing that they give... Autometer sell some in diffrent size... Witch one do I need?

I also need the adapter that scews in to the block. Autometer is american tread an my block is metric so I need the good adapter. What size or part number do I need? If I want to keep the oem unit too, Is there a kind of "T" adapter that I can use to do it?

Can someone who did it can tell me what parts do I need?

what is the good adapter size for the hose to connect to the block?

 

what gauge did you buy?

If I remember correctly AutoMeter uses NPT (national pipe thread) standards.

 

I know the size of Autometer stuff...it's the other side I need... the one that plug in the block...

 

1/8 bspt to 1/8 npt is the way to go...
