Oil Sender Adapter

[82CNT]

I have got an autometer spitfire oil pressure gauge and do not know what part I need to use to hook the sender unit up and also retain the factory sender. I have these pics of the sender unit to help but if there is other info u need just ask me. The prod code of the gauge is 6127 and sender is 1/8" NPT sender.

Here you go, some info I saved a while ago before I bought one myself. Cheers.

"The correct T-Piece to use is a VDO 230.032. The standard thread in the oil sender is 1/4 NPT. (the autometer is 1/8 NPT)."

The above t-piece will make it look the opposite of the pic Dwayne posted, ie Autometer sender on top (1/8 fitting) and original on the end (1/4 fitting).

A bit late, but yeah that is the part to get. I used the same. Heres a pic of it with the pieces put together, and one with it installed on my car.

I think I couldn't fit it onto the car with the sender in place, so I ended up sticking the sender onto it once the VDO fitting was in place.
