  1. I added a electric oil pressure gauge recently. The thread in the block for the sending unit is 1/8" BSP for anyone wondering. So when you get your sending unit and it comes with 1/8" NPT you'll need to get an adapter to go from 1/8" NPT-27 to 1/8" BSP-28. I finally found one after much searching at O'reilly - Equus part number 9848.

     

    I ditched the dummy light, who needs it when you have a real gauge :shrug:

  2. In what way does your 1/8" NPT not fit? Anyway, my 1/8" BSP adapter has been working well for a while now. If you want to get one, probably the easiest is to buy some gauge kit that comes with one included. Alternatively you might be able to find something at an industrial hydraulics supplier.

     

    So is it 1/8 BSP? Mine seems to be just a hair too big, does that sound right?

  3. I'm reasonably confident that it's BSP, but I can't remember why right now. They aren't super different, you're right, so it might work with NPT too (obviously it did for you). The gauge kit I bought came with an adapter. I'd already gone through a reasonably large hassle finding an adapter and bsp tee and everything, but then I found out it had the separate connection for the light, so all that was unnecessary.

     

    Can anyone verify what size and thread type the block is. I've got a sending unit that is 1/8 NPT and it doesn't fit, I need to get an adapter but I don't know what size and thread I'm looking for :scratchhead:. Any help is much appreciated

  4. Maybe Mike will chime in here, definitley check your tans fluid and hope it doesn't look like stawberry milk shake. From what I have read the original rad was manufactured by calsonic and there is belief by some that was the reason for the leaky rads/failed trannys. So stay away from calsonic is my best advise
