Quick One....Oil pressure gauge fitting
'72 C20, does anyone know what the size is on the fitting on the back of the factory wet oil pressure gauge? Ive got a 4 AN braided line coming from the motor, but need an adapter for the back of the factory gauge. Thanks!!

Re: Quick One....Oil pressure gauge fitting
mine is actually a male fitting that will require a female adapter for the braided line. there is a small, copper retaining nut that keeps the gauge in place in the housing. I need to know the size of that retaining nut as the adapter will be the same size. I can probably back the nut off and take it to the hardware store tomorrow, I was just hoping someone might know off the top of their head. Thanks for the help.

The inside is where the factory line with the compression fitting /farrel nut would thread into. If you found a fitting that would thread on the outside with the nut, there would be nothing to stop oil from leaking. I hope this helps and I am following what you are asking for. |

Re: Quick One....Oil pressure gauge fitting
just ran down to the garage, and now I am following completely, and yes you are correct....so you think that inside diameter is 1/8 NPT male to a 4 AN male fitting for the line?

One of our site vendors Leon (LockDoc) makes these copper oil pressure lines. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=613373
The end with the compression nut threads into the factory gauge. Hope this helps. :metal: |
Re: Quick One....Oil pressure gauge fitting
I looked for this same fitting and never could find it. I don't think it is pipe thread. I wanted to run braided line but just went with the copper line. I hope you can figure this out.

Here is a picture of the fitting that screws into the gauge. It isn't 1/8 inch pipe tread. I don't know of any other fitting that will fit it.... LockDoc |

Here is the only way it could be done as far as I can see. If a person would order this fitting: http://www.andysautosport.com/produc..._17982nos.html And use this adapter that I made up (the small end fits the back of the gauge and the 1/8” pipe threads on the big end fit the 4-AN adapter that Andy’s Auto Sport sells, then your 4-AN oil line would screw into that. Maybe a person could find a cheaper Female 1/8” pipe to Female 4-AN fitting that didn’t swivel, I don’t know. LockDoc |
Re: Quick One....Oil pressure gauge fitting
I have some of the fittings that LockDoc posted. I bought them a while back from someone on this site.
