autometer Oil pressure sender

Does anyone know where I can get the T fittings and adapter to connect an autometer oil pressure sender unit and still have the factory one working too?

Thanks

T fitting from home depot....1/8"NPT all around. The adaptor will have to come from Autometer. I forgot which one I bought that worked. I think it was the Oil Pressure 1/8" NPT to 1/8" BSPT Product #:2269

Autometer 2269 is a male 1/8" NPT to male 1/8" BSPT. This adaptor will go into the block. The block I believe is a 1/8" BSPT thread. Now, the T fitting is all female 1/8" NPT. One hole is where the autometer sendor will go. The other hole is where the stock oil pressure sender will go. You will have to screw the stock oil pressure sender all the way into the T but it will work. Use teflon paste on all the fitting or use blue loctite.

Look at my pictures. I used a SS line to relocate all the fittings. I didn't like the idea they are so close to the axle.

Either. Mechanical normally stays in the engine bay since you don't really want to run oil lines into your cabin.

The Electrical should just have a sensor that screws into the 1/8" NPT or you would need another adapter.
