If you have the stock gauge and the stock block fitting you need to buy the correct line kit. Many of the quality truck parts houses carry the correct kit. Trying to us the incorrect line kit and or adapters will lead to leaks and more than likely ruin the odd ball threads on he OEM parts.

Bought it at autozone. It fitting that came with the kit is too small for my gauge.

Most copper tubbing and adapters are standard sizes usually found at a auto or hardware store. The last time I neededsome fitting which are made of brass for my oil gauge I bought then in the local Ace in Bishop Ca.

I have the little piece that threads into the back of the oil gauge. All you need is either copper or plastic line and your done. Pm me your address and I'll send it to you.

What are these listed as at the auto parts stores? I seem to be unable to find them. Is this all one piece, i.e. attachment for the mechanical gauge, copper tubing, and attachment to the engine? I have a screw device with broken tubing sticking out the back of the mechanical oil pressure gauge I am installing. They seem inseperable.
