oil pressure guage problem
My oil pressure gauge is leaking. I cannot find the correct fitting to attach to it. I even bought a new tube kit with assorted fittings and none will fit it. I bought some other fittings so it is stacked 3 adapters high and it still leaks. Does anyone have a part number for the correct fitting?
Thanks, |

Re: oil pressure guage problem
This is what I need. The ferrule is worn due to over tightening.
. This is what I have been able to find locally. It leaks even with teflon tape etc. |

Re: oil pressure guage problem
From what part of the fitting is it leaking?
If it is from around the tube you may have to cut the tube off just above where the old ferrule was and replace the old ferrule with a new one. I got my new one from NAPA. Then snug the fitting nut down on the ferrule. Do not overtighten the nut you will deform the tube and it will not seal.

If LockDoc can't help, I do know that Truck Car Shop in Orange, CA has replacement copper line with correct fittings each end for cheap.
