Does anyone know of a direct reading pressure device that can be attached at the pressure sending unit (back and top of the block).

or an adaptor that can use existing sending unit and a direct pressure guage.

I would agree that that may be a good place to start but first however, I would make double sure thet the threads on the original sending unit are not metric. Much of the brass fittings in auto supply stores are either pipe thread (tapered) or are tube thread (straight), neither of which are metric.

The reason for me asking is that the threads of the sending unit into the block are not pipe.

The threads are a straight 16mm x 1.5mm which would mean I need a T fitiing or something that has a 16mm male and a 16mm female plus a pipe thread to attach a direct pressure unit. I cannot find such an animal.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

J.R.

You might check with Jegs or Summit or one of the companies that sell a wide variety of hardware for hardcore racers. You might also check with some of the gauge companies as well like AutoMeter, Defi, etc. You might even check on one of the popular (dare I say it? ) import boards as they deal almost exclusively with metric fittings and hardware too. Surely someone has needed this type fitting before. Good luck.
