One warning....>>
Well, the second or third actually since you seem bent on proceeding...(cheap and stubborn is no way to go through life..:-)
The Oil pressure ports...Both the spare on top of the Filter boss and the OEM sender are M10x1.0 threads. This is so close to 1/8 NPT that you will be tempted to use the NPT fittings that you can find easily. If you do it wil probably leak. I don't know of compression fittings that come in M10 size. Get proper M10 to 1/8 adapters or use the 42DD Sender relo kit if you want to avoid that particular heartbreak..

bull headed is the term best used to describe me. Or ****head. Mom calls me that.
I will be using the correct fittings though, thanks for the [third] warning.
