Re: Factory oil pressure guage fitting????
one of the ends of tube in the installation kit will screw into the back of your oil pressure gauge. our original looked similar to that but was brass i believe.

Your original gage's fitting looks like this. Can be had from most DYI auto stores like NAPA, Car Quest, or marketeers for your trucks like Brothers, Truck Shop, etc. If you do not use the proper fitting you will leak oil and ruin the original gage.

Re: Factory oil pressure guage fitting????
Wow I'm retarded, I didn't even see the threads on the inside of the gauge.....and was trying to find something to fit over the outside, that by the way is a regular thread......
Once again this great site has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel of my retardation.

Re: Factory oil pressure guage fitting????
you're alot safer for the long run with the factory original metal tubing instead of the cheapo plastic crap
