Is that for an oil pressure gauge/lite? If so, it would be 1/8" NPT thread; I have the fitting. E-mail me for details. Thanks, Bob.

olds67

ok thanks

shoud be able to find that fitting in any plumbing supply store,or any place that services big trucks should have them.

They sell everything you need to install the oil pressure gauges in an autometer gauges install kit. They sell the whole kit at most big autopart chainstores for pretty cheap, like $8.00 including the t-fitting, hose, and all different nipples/caps for assorted applications.

Guys, he's located in Italy so he may be needing someone here to ship one to him. I enjoy hearing about Oldsmobiles scattered around the world but imagine working on them overseas is difficult!

silverriff

You mean they don't have an Advance or Autozone on every corner like here in Baltimore???

If you go to the parts store in Italy looking for Olds parts and they can't find anything make sure the counter guy types "Oldsmobile" into the computer and not "Oldsomobile".

The stores there would have metric fittings but if the gauges are metric they may have an adapter.
The NPT male to metric female adapter is a tough one to find here.
A hardware store or plumbing supply there may have something but that fitting but is a specialty type, most any place here would have a female tee and short nipple.
You want to keep the oil pressure light working and have the gauge also I take it?

Summit Racing and places like that ship internationally?

olds67

yes!!
The problem is that I'm in Italy and parts is not easy to have them here do not match the threads of this hydraulic fitting.

olds67

we are the shop but still have to order in the USA and ask me insane.
I better buy it myself, but no store where I found the USA sends in Italy

olds67

Summit sends in Italy, but I could not find the connection, perhaps the name was wrong, that it takes to mount an extension cord, because the thread is short.
you can find the extension cord?

thanks also I can buy from Summit

olds67

this is a problem,the adapter is short and i can not screw it...

exists an extension?

I've seen people use a small piece of steel pipe to raise the "T" or even the sending unit up above the waterpump. Is the male threads on your T part of the brass piece, or are they threaded into it? Could you replace them with a short pipe nipple that's threaded on each end? John

olds67

yes John
the male braid to the big block and the T is all in brass, could be used the braid of the pressur swicth, to cut it and to braise it to the T but I am afraid that does not hold.

this you say that it can go, it is higher

citcapp

Olds67, You picture will work that is the same as what I used on my 455.

olds67

ok citcapp
expect to post a photo...

citcapp

Will do, i did not use a sensor though Instead I used a under hood gauge in its place and did not hook the light back up

olds67

I'd like to have everything under control inside the car, this is why

citcapp

Here is the picture

2blu442

olds67, yes the last picture you posted, mounted like citcapp did on his car would resolve your clearance problems. John

olds67

yes is a good image to go ahead, theres an extension on that of citcapp that should be what sells the summit.
guys thank you so much

Hey Pat,

That's an awesome set up, i think i'm going to do the same thing on my 72 Cutlass 's' project, as having an under the hood gauge for reference would be great,

cheers,

Tony

And the '80 - '84 Olds Regency's (probably the Delta's too) with the guage package have the very same elevated extention brass fitting (elbow) as used on the '68 Olds with rally packs... PN 401559

olds67

is very comfortable, my problem is that the Chinese have bought the gauge is not worth anything.
I think ahead to buy gauge U.S.A. or made in Italy that are the best.
