NJ Need the compression fitting for oil pressure line - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 03-30-2012, 10:58 PM

I want to hook up the factory oil pressure gauge but need the fitting on the gauge end. Does anyone have a proper compression fitting lying around?

Thanks
Scott

Scott, I have the complete lines out there, wouldn't have to flare the end of line to put on the fitting?

Randy, I dont think so, they r a compression fitting.
I already have the line run so just need one fitting that will work with stock gauge.

Thanks
Scott

I have a gauge cluster that someone clipped the line on with a pair of side cutters about 4" from the gauge. If you send me your address, I will send it to you.

I have a couple here if you do not find one. Darn what's it worth to you?
Would free be out of line?

I don't believe you can re-use the old fittings, they get compressed when you tighten them in. I have about 10 brand new fittings that I bought years ago.

You can if the whole line is included. I have reused the whole line with both used end fittings before with no leaks. Which was what I would have sent if the guy wants it. Send him a free one and I will save mine.

Your right you can re-use the whole line ! Just can't remove the fitting and re-use it.
