Default Oil pressure gauge line??

I want to replace the line from the block to the gauge while I am doing the radio in my car next month. I want to use the Autometer steel braided line, but I do not know what part number it is or how it will fit. Can anyone tell me which length (3,4,6 ft) and size (-3an, -4an).

Sorry I can't answer your question. I used copper tubing when I replaced mine.

I'm interested also, since I'd like to replace my nylon line with a cool looking steel braided line. As far as length goes, I think 3 ft would probably be plenty long enough, but I guess you could go with the 4 ft just to make sure you had enough.

Still no info. Someone has to know something. I thought I saw someone from the forum picked one up a while ago.

I haven't done an extensive search but so far I've found the smallest diameter SS braided tubing is 1/4 in. The fittings & stock tubing are for 1/8 inch tubing.

I bought an aftermarket universal-type copper set.
