[QUOTE="Paul, post: 923408, member: 9404"] Okay, all of this is pretty simple, and you only need a few fittings. For the schraeder valve, you need a 1/16 NPT male to 1/8 NPT female adapter, AutoMeter PN 3280. Your pressure sending unit is presumably 1/8" NPT unless they do something totally wacky. [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/AutoMeter-3280-Fitting-1-16-NPT-Male-1-8-NPT-Female-/250549949512?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3a55f0d448[/url] For oil pressure, you need to get that oil pressure sending unit screwed into the side of the block just forward of the oil filter, and behind the timing cover. It's tight work in there. I believe the side of the block is 3/8 NPT, so all you'll need is a 3/8" NPT to 1/8" NPT reducer, which you can buy at any hardware store for a couple bucks. Don't forget the teflon paste. For the water temperature gauge, I'm assuming that PLX sending unit is also 1/8" NPT, so you'll probably just need another reducer like you used for the oil pressure sender because the intake manifold port is also threaded 3/8" NPT. See, simple. Get it done and post up pics of your success! Paul. [/QUOTE]
