I got a autometer pressure gage to hook up. Since the engine failure I no longer trust the stock gage.

Are the threads for the stock gage normal NPT or the metric NPT??

Also, I remember reading somewhere to remote mount the sending unit to make it live longer. Since I window welded the stock mounts and removed the balance shafts, vibration is going to be an issue. Anybody got any recommendation (picts would be good) of where/how they mounted theirs?

I'd be interested in the answers you get, as I have a gauge to put in also. Is yours electrical or mechanical?

I believe there's a FAQ on DSMTuners on how to do it but their site is currently down. LMK what you find out.

Well according to a thread I found on Buschur Forums, the threads are 1/8-28 BSP, not the standard 1/8-27 NPT. mad.gif

So, anybody know somewhere I can get male BSP to NPT fitting locally (Peoria)??

You beat me to the post...I stopped at Advance and they ordered me an adapter set. Something like 6 fittings for $7. It comes in Friday.

Advance in E Peoria should have one in stock. They ordered 2 and was going to put the other on the shelf. It's made by SunPro.
