Author Topic: autometer oil pressure gauge 91 5.0 ¯ Member # 1527 posted                              I melted the tubing for my gauge on my header. Anyone know what size tubing this is? Will I be able to buy the tubing and compression fittings at somewhere like Ace hardware? -------------------- 02 GT - Zinc Yellow 91 5.0 LX - Red Posts: 1316 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : Hungry Hippo ¯ Member # 537 posted                              summit sells it for 6 bucks. i'm about to see if kragen can get it, #3223 for nylon tubing and fittings. are you using nylon tubing? did it melt all the way through and make a mess? just wondering cause i'm about to install a guage -------------------- 05 S4 Avant(wagon) 09 C6 H/C/I Posts: 2959 | From: east bay | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : 91 5.0 ¯ Member # 1527 posted                              yep, all the way through.

The ferrels fit the autometer fittings. -------------------- 1964 nova ss with just a 10.5 to 1 355sbc and a 94 ford f350 Posts: 69 | From: ssf | Registered: Mar 2003  |  : 91 5.0 ¯ Member # 1527 posted                              Thats what I just did.
