Carbureted LSX forum - Oil pressure sending unit adapter

Hey everyone, Im in the middle of installing my new gauge cluster in my car and need a little help. The sender that came with my new gauges is a 1/8" NPT. I need some sort of adapter to go from the stock size sender to the new sender if there is such a thing. Im trying to put it at the back of the valley cover like stock. If you can help, please let me know.

Thanks,

Dustin

i drilled a hole in the sensor housing after breaking the plastic stuff off then tapped it with a 1/8 npt tap.

Interesting, Do they not make a adapter?

I can thread the stock sender into a 1/2" MIT fitting, but its not tight. It still wiggles some. Does anyone know what this is?

i think its like a m12 fitting. honestly this was a 10 minute job and looks good. i could get a pic for ya tomorow if ya want.

dont quote me on the size tho. i could be wrong ha

I used part number 1822268 LS Series Oil Pressure Sender Adapter from Speedway motor.

Autometer 2268 for oil.

I used part number 1822268 LS Series Oil Pressure Sender Adapter from Speedway motor.

I went ahead and order this one.

Thank you everyone!!

I am pretty damn sure I ended up with a fitting that came from a kit for adapting water temp on all mine that fit the oil sender every time. Weird.

like mentioned i used the autometer one that went from a metric thread to the 1/8npt

I did it the zero $$ way as well, knocked off the plastic of the oem sender, then tapped it 1/8 NPT

One I did was found a fitting that fit the motor but the oil sender piece slid in, JB weld and BAM, perfect. Lol
