Need a picture of oil gauge fitting

[wally426ci]

I am looking for a picture of he fitting that goes into the back of the mechanical oil gauge for 68 and back standard gauges. Looks like mail on both sides?

Wally, that is an odd size fitting. On one of mine , I took, if I remember correctly, 2- 1/8 pipe taps ground 1 down. Tapped with the fresh one and then tapped using the ground 1 to allow the for the threads on a compression fitting to hold and seal. Had to grind one to get solid threads deep enough to work.

Wally,
Here are photos of the fitting. I hope this helps.

Nice thank you. I am trying to fix a leak so keep all posted

I had a leak on the other end of this one also. I went to the local auto parts and all we could come up with was a bunch of bastardized fittings and now it drips on my shoe instead of on the engine block !!! LOL !!! I hope you have better luck than I.
