im trying to put in a "T" so i can use my oil pressure gauge i just picked up. i thought it was 10x1 but i cant seem to find a metric "T" anywhere. is there somewhere that sells a kit for adding a gauge. the T that i have is standard and i dont want to strip out my alluminum threads in my block

 

i bought a oil pressure gauge and i put mine when the sending unit goes and i bought a brass t fitting and hooked it up with that and and the switch and gauge ran off the t should b a write up on here some where that helps with what ur doin.

 

1/8" BSPT. Some people use a 1/8" NPT fitting, but it's a bad idea as the taper is different.

Don't use brass. The vibration will cause it to work harden and become brittle and eventually snap. Extra weight exacerbates the problem also. I have a 1/8" BSPT to NPT nipple going to a T with the stock sending unit on the side and my -3AN hose coming out the end for the turbo.

The preferred solution is to get a short (6" in so) hose, run it from the back of the block to somewhere more secure (somewhere else on the block, on the firewall, etc) and T off of that.
