Looking for a little help? I am putting a aftermarket oil pressure gauge and need to know what fitting you guys use to connect them behind the block?

Re: putting a aftermarket oil pressure gauge

The kits come with everything you need to install the gage . Don’t use the supplied plastic tubing buy the copper . I just put one in my 72 on the new motor

Re: putting a aftermarket oil pressure gauge

I went with an electric pressure gauge because I didn’t want an oil line, copper or not, inside the cab.
Here are some screen shots of what I had posted.

I am still going to run the stock one in the dash cluster and going to use a under dash autometer oil and temp gauge. Going to use the same spot on the back of the block but need a fitting that has 2 outlets?

You'll probably have to use a TEE with a short pipe nipple.
