Ive searched all the typical parts sites and am sketchy on pulling the trigger. I am trying to hook the stock gauges back up and need the adapters and line (copper I assume) to hook it back up. I see kits for 3rd gens on and they come with adapters but not sure if its the correct one for my oil pressure gauge. What are you guys using? Keep in mind, Im staying stock with the SS gauges

I see these in the local parts stores, should it fit?

Go LOCO(l)

Napa will have it.
I've seen the universal kits at Autozone, but they use the plastic line.

I'd go to napa and get them to find one for ya...

that looks big...pretty sure mine was 1/16.....not sure if the larger daimeter will affect readings?

1/8" line is the correct size. I used copper, which some guys say is a no-no but I've never had an issue with it yet. I believe the thinking is it cracks easier than steel tubing.

Make sure to put a couple of extra coils in the line between the firewall and the engine to allow for vibration. It's tough to see in this picture but look just to the right of the coil and you can kind of see that.

The fitting is special. It's not just a common 1/8" compression fitting like most places will try to sell you. I don't know how to describe it technically, but here's a shot of it installed and also a shot of the fitting only.

If you need any more help, just ask.

As long as the fittings fit, the diameter of the line should make no difference to the readings.
