This is what the oil pressure guage line fitting looks like.The NPT fitting in the block is 1/8" NPT. The compression ferule is built on the fitting.

I have a stock line that I'm not using. it's about 12" long. I think it's the part from the gauges to the firewall. If you want it, it's yours.

MY TIP - Buy a 1/8 NPT x 2" long brass nipple and add a brass coupling. Makes getting down behind the intake way easier.
