I have the original oil pressure gauge in my 57 truck. The only difference i found was the the original brass fitting used a 5/16 open end wrench and the vette used 3/8 inch wrench. the thread and length of the brass fitting were the same. I'm not sure of the differences mentioned, but for my truck it was a direct replacement. I have driven the truck a few times since the repair and I have not had a leak.

i'm not sure if there are some variations between years, regarding oil pressure gauges.

time will tell.
