Engine Oil pressure port extender recommendations

[Mcmahst]

Hello:

I’ve got a stock 5.0 from an 87 TBird in my 73 Mustang, and I want to use my stock oil pressure idiot light along with my mechanic gauge. I want to get an oil pressure port extended to accomplish that. What part did you put on your 5.0 to do that? There are a bunch of styles and lengths available, and I just want to get the right one the first time. Thanks in advance for the help, Steve.

$35 !!!!! I'll drill and tap one, thank you.

Thanks for the info. My concern is, there’s not a lot of room there. Here’s a fuzzy pic; it looks like straight out it would come close to the oil filter and too far, get very close to the PS pump rear return hose hard line. What do you think?

It's just 1/4npt ... Go to you local hardware store, buy a long enough nipple and a T block .. done for under $10

Paint it whatever color if you don't want to see the brass

I was fortunate that mine was in good shape, just soaked it in my solvent tank for a while...
Personally, do it once, do it right..... What isn't priced out of sight nowadays???
Of course, I am spending my childrens inheritance.......

I like the brass idea.

I'm gonna do the same thing, I want my stock gauge to work too.

I’ve already have brass fittings on my car. What’s another one.
