The gauge is easy to find but I had no luck with the link to Casper for the adaptor and a search of the site failed as well. Ebay, Amazon (may be the right one but in quantities of ten) no luck. Probably my search description is missing the mark but would appreciate a link if anyone knows where to get them. And are they 37 degree flare or 45? Thanks much -

I want to incorporate this, on to my build.

 

Because this Thread goes back to 2008. I am wondering how

the gauge has held up, throughout time, with under-the-hood conditions.

 

((OMGosh), Is that a Crack I see ???)

 

Thanks.

I used the Summit gauge and fittings from Home Depot with a short piece of copper tubing.  Been in there about a year now and still works fine.

[DirtyComanche]

Anyone have a source for the original fitting?  Seems like it's discontinued?

[DirtyComanche]

Glowshift sells a fitting that almost certainly does the same thing: https://www.glowshiftdirect.com/fuel-rail-adapter-4-an-thread-adapter-for-gm-vehicles/

 

Vibrant Performance has one too: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/vpe-16791/overview/

Use the oil gauge in your dash and install an either or toggle switch to toggle between the oil sender and the fuel sender. No need for two gauges. Instant readout.
