Oil pressure gauge.

Post by BKH808 »

Doh! couldnt figure out why my oil pressure would go to full max on my cluster after 20v ran but didn't know it was a dummy switch and sold my old 16v block with the switch still on. Since I would need to buy another one I rather just buy a Auto meter oil pressure to match my water temp.

What is the thread pitch for the oil pressure switch on 16v/20v? The package comes with Includes 1/8 NPT sender and ¼ NPT adapter fittings.

try RONS might be able to get a fitting, the 1/8" NPT is translated to 27 TPI, and also, the 4age is tapered/conical. id bring in the stock oil switch and see if rons cant match it up.

Am I looking at the right adapter for it?

Should I be using any thread sealants when installing?
