MAP Sensor T Fitting

Early 1999 F250 7.3 . I am installing a T fitting in the Map sensor line for my Boost gauge. Before I cut the line I would like to know what the ID of the map line is so I can have the proper barbed fitting on hand?? No place for delete plug on this early 99.

1/4" barbed fittings are what you need.

General rule of thumb.....Hose is almost always sized by Inside Diameter, while pipe or tubing is Outside Diameter.

The you will need to make sure the T has one port that is 1/8" NPT threads for the sensor. You probably knew that but just want to make sure to save you a trip.

Sounds like you would be better off using an Threaded AIH Plug instead of the MAP line to get your boost.

I have a mechanical gauge and it worked out great!

Oops.... missed that! With a little drilling and tapping, a 1/8"-27 NPT port could be added for the price of a tap if you didn't already have one.

I wish I could use the delete plug but they left that out of the early 99's.... Looks like a clean setup.. I thought of tapping a new port but figured the MAP line would be less likely to go south....
