Default Oil Temp / Pressure adaptor

Well , this winter is taken up by trying to finish little things on the LS1 corvair.

I need to find an adaptor that will allow me to use the sending unit from my auto meter gauges.... Don't wanna dril l/ re-tap things

Thanks!

Equus makes a kit with 5 different adapters in it. It's p/n EQU-9848. Maybe one of the sponcers sell it. If not, just google the p/n. You can use one of these in the location of the stock sender and screw a sender in that has 1/8" pipe threads.

+1 on the adapters. Also check with some of the Gauge Manufactors.. some of them (Autometer ?) has adapters from NPT to metric threads.

This is good to know. I need to hook up my oil pressure sending unit and temp sending unit and I'd really rather not drill into the head!
