oil pressure sensor adapter
oil pressure sensor adapter I was putting my Speed Hut gauges in my LQ9 this weekend, and the oil pressure sensor is a different thread size. Does anyone know where I can get an adaptor? Hopefully a longer one, because the new one is huge & will not fit. The water temp is also a different thread size, and I need an adaptor for that too. My car is at my Dad's garage 30 minutes away. I will try to get some pics of them tonight.
Thanks,
Brandon

Jeggs and similar speed shops have them on line. A local speed shop got me an adapter in a day for less than $10. I think it was made by Autometer.
The thread is 16mm as I recall, and the adapter changes it to 1/8 pipe thread.

If your not using the OEM gauge/sender.. take it, break the top plastic off, take the bottom alum part, drill and tap to the thread size of your Speed Hut sender.
cost? = priceless

I have used this on my chevelle.. as long as you have room your ok. if your sender is large. and space is tight. could be a issue. but at lease you go options.
Also you can use the bypass plate above the oil filter, if it is not be used for an oil cooler. The F-Body ones are good cause they have a cast boss to drill and tap.
I use both. one for pressure gauge and the other for my fav !... the "Idiot Light" LOL ! I just used the oem for the body/gauge in one of the locations.

Here you go. For $7 you get oil and water temp adapters without having to destroy a $50 oil pressure sensor.

. Excellent service! My Dad got an oil pressure sensor adaptor at a local parts store. I have not seen it yet.DSCN0378.jpg?t=1299870623
One thing I have started doing it running a remote manifold for my oil pressure sending units/gauges
I use a braded -3 line to connect the engine to the remote manifold with the warning light, gauge and fuel pump shut off.
1 line hook up to the engine with the Autometer addaper the manifold is hidden on the fire wall somewhere.
