Block Fitting size?

Hey all...

Ive been following the boards a while, And i post most of the time on the other FS boards as Drilim.

I have a question regarding gauges. If i hook up a mechanical oil psi guage, and use a T connector to keep both the stock sender and guage and the the after-market guage, What is the dimensions of the T connector i need to get?

Basically, What is the size of the fitting into the block?

Also, What is the fitting at the radiator?...Id like to install a tranny temp gauge as well. Also, Where can i splice it under the dash to have the lights go on and off when i turn on the headlights?

Thanks A Ton.

Block Fitting size?

It's a pipe thread; probably 1/2" or 3/8" NPT. But the mechanical one will probably be different, so you may need an adapter for it. The t-fitting will probably have 3 female threads, so you'll need a close nipple, too, to join it to the block.

The dash illumination circuit is the LB/R wire that runs to the A/C control panel & ashtray, and you can tap into it anywhere you see that wire.
