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?

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

i heard that they want it to be a braided steel line at the dragstrip. vwhere could you get one that fits?

you can just go to OSH and get 1/8 inch copper tubing and the same size ferrels. this is also NHRA approved. The ferrels fit the autometer fittings.

or u could get an electric oil pressure gauge, instead of runnin oil lines and having a big mess, u could run a single wire and not have to worry about it, but u have what u have, i second the copper idea, copper is not hard to work with and will be approved at any track
