Oil pressure sensor
I have an 06C6Z06 and in the process of installing an aftermarket oil pressure sensor for a data-logger and plan to use a T fitting and retain the stock sensor at its location. Does anyone know the tread pattern of the stock sending unit and/or a source for the T?

I'm not sure which sender unit the LS7 uses. My LS1,2 & 3 blocks are the same, the thread of those is "not" a pipe thread. I would have to measure to 100% sure but M12 x 1.5 comes to mind.

There is not a lot of room back there between the intake and the fire wall, I can tell you that having swapped intakes many times.
I think there is a plug you can tap above the oil filter...if my memory serves the FI guys tap this spot for their oiling systems.
You probably know, but just in case not, you can also scan your oil pressure (among many things) from your OBDII port also.

To manually add an OBD-II sensor you enter the hex address and then an equation - defining A,B &C based on the formula: ((X+A)*B)+C.
Perhaps there is something on HP Tuner's you can direct me to?
Thanks
Jim
