Oil Press,Temp gauge adaptors Where can I get adaptors for running a 1/8 npt gauge sensor in the LS1/6 block/head? Need one for the coolant temp and one for the oil pressure.
1/8 npt to 12 mm and 1/8 npt to 16mm, I think.

Re: Oil Press,Temp gauge adaptors You can get an M12X1.5 to 1/8 npt from www.fittingsandadapters.com for the water temp.
As for the oil pressure, I just tapped the thing above the oil filter. This is already tapped on a corvette LS1 motor. I used a 1/8 npt. Very easy to do. Otherwise, I am sure you can get an M16 adapter from the above company.

Re: Oil Press,Temp gauge adaptors thanks, for the info. I'll look for the Fiero this summer. I'm building an Ultima GTR with LS6 power. Here's a link, you'll also see my Caddy which won the Car Craft Real Street Eliminator title ( in the current March 03 Issue)

Re: Oil Press,Temp gauge adaptors Wow I won't be able to miss that at the crystal Lake cruise nights <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . I will be sure and come up and introduce myself. Do the same if you see me first. That is quite an intake. I see you mounted it backwards like mine. Did you know the ls1/ls6 intake can be rotated 180 deg.???? I wish I could have fit the vette transaxle in my car. Nice job. Here is a link to some info on mine

Re: Oil Press,Temp gauge adaptors Yes, I was aware the stock intake can be flipped 180, this one was as well. This one flows more than the LS6 intake (320cfm) at .50 lift. Nice work on the Fiero swap!
