What is this?? ( pic)
Can anyone identify this little object.
I think it is supposed to be connected with a very tiny tube-thing?
This, I know what is, but I just found it, after I have had the car for half a year.
me like . o = o = o = o = o =

The tube, or whatever, snapped off while I was working with someting else. So it has not been driven since that happened.
I have not had a closer look, but is it possible to connect the tube with the same plug, or do I need a new one.?

As other people have told you the fitting is for the oil pressure line.
and do not start the car until you have the line reinstalled.
Also if it broke when you were working on the car I would repl. the entire line. They are plastic and they make a mess inside the car if it happens to break there.

I prefer electric gauges. 
I saw what happened when a rubber gauge line let go on a 41 Chebby truck. That was NOT fun - especially since the damage wasn't very evident when the pressure was off. It was at the shop for over a week, I spent an afternoon studying every inch of the engine before I found the problem.

Do not use copper lines.
