Does anyone know the thread size/type for the oil pressure sender (gauge, near the oil filter)?
I have a gauge, but need to make up an adapter from the gauge to the engine.
Thanks

Why not just buy the appropriate sender? The sell them here at Auto Zone. Under $20 if I recall and lifetime warranty.

I am asking the same thing.
I want to, temporarily, tee in a mechanical gauge where the sender goes to read the true oil pressure and then calibrate the sender such that the dash shows the correct oil pressure. The sender thread looks like a pipe thread but I am not sure about dim or if it is metric or standard.

Take the gauge sender to the local hardware store and find the match. It is a standard size. I have several brass fittings but do not remember the size. I use a 45 degree angle fitting for the sender so I can use the larger diameter oil filters.

Yes, Nicholas, I am using a stock Delorean sender on my VR6 but I have the remote oil filter which is where the sender goes.
The plan is to migrate to an all digital dash where my ECU's CAN bus displays everything in video on the dash. I am following Kevin's thread about that http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?12...l=1#post184636 and plan to make a move once it's available.
