i have a stewart warner electrical oil pressure gauge that i want to install in my car. i would like to run a line from the block to a T on the firewall, and mount the oil sending unit and stock pressure switch to the T. i found a picture of a similar setup but with 2 T's because the person obviously had a turbo feed line running off of it as well. here's the pic...



can anyone give me a list of parts i need to make this. i need exact sizes so i can just go to home depot or the local hardware store and just ask for them. include what line to get as well. thanks for the help guys.. sorry i'm such a newb at this kind of stuff.. lines and fittings and all.

 

you will at least need a metric to standard pipe adapter fitting

 

PM me for questions.

 

pm flamenco-t he makes a kit that has all the fittings and lines you will need to do this. i doubt you will find AN fittings at home depot, they might not even have any 1/8npt fittings since they are fairly small for normal household plumbing. ace hardware might be a better bet but i doubt they have AN fittings either

you could also check out http://www.anplumbing.com and search around, they have all the necessary parts as well.

pretty much you will need:

a. 1 - 1/8 bspt male -> 1/8 npt female adapter (for the block)
b. 2 - 1/8 npt male -> -3 AN male fittings (for each end of the line)
c. 20" stainless line with -3 AN hose ends
d. 1 - 1/8 npt female T fitting
e. 1 roll of teflon tape (or paste) to assemble all the fittings (use it on male npt threads only, AN fittings seal themselves)

you could possibly substitute item C for stainless hose with 1/8npt female hose ends (if you can find it) and then you could eliminate item B. and you could always add another T if you ever go turbo like the person did in that pic you posted.

someone chime in if i missed anything

 

you missed something...
youll still need another adapter for the stock sensor to thread into the T.


adapters are expensive...it sucks.
let me know when youve ordered off my site blacksheep. id like to see pics of your final setup
