Re: oil pressure guage

I use a 1/8 inch compression fitting I get from Napa. Can't remember the part number, I will swing by and get it for you, I need one too. Here's picture of the old one.

Re: oil pressure guage

Went by NAPA and picked up two of them. .99 each. What a deal. Their part number is 6100. Should ask for a 1/8 inch compression fitting. I ordered 10 feet of 1/8 copper tube several years ago and use it when I need to replumb. You can get the copper (I stay away from the nylon stuff) at NAPA or any parts supplier. Just ask for an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge installation kit. The kits come with lots of brass fittings, just not the stock type one! good luck!
