Can someone please tell me the difference between these two threads
On the left is my stock oil pressure gauge. On the right is a brass adapter i ordered. Both are M10-1.0 The adapter is a hair larger and begins to screw in the thread but then starts to cross thread. I don't understand why if they are the same size? :confused:

Thank's wabbit. I ordered this adapter from Sunpro themselves and they said it would work since my toyota had metric fittings. I've tried Lowes and a couple of local hardware stores. I'm going to head to home depot and if nothing I'm going to have to see online.

It's metric but it's a tapered fitting on the OEM and a parallel fitting on the adapter.

Well I finally found out what threads are on my oil pressure sender. The gage has 1/8 BSPT (British standard pipe thread TAPER). In order to hook up a mechanical oil pressure gage, you need a 1/8 BSPT male to 1/8 NPT (national pipe thread) adapter. I ended up getting an Autometer #2269 adapter. I ended up getting a street T in 1/8 NPT. I used the adapter to screw the T into the block. Because the stock sender is slightly smaller than the T, I was able to thread the sender into the T. On the other part of the T I ran the copper line to the gage. Now I have both gages working. Just thought I would let you all know, because apparently nobody else knew.

So to make this work I'm about to order the following according to Jason:
One Tee fitting to retain my stock gauge
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOS-16435NOS/
One adapter to be able to plug it all into my block
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-2269/
Is this correct?

The adapter is correct. The tee is not. I used a regular street tee, not a compression style tee. I can't remember how I hooked the copper to the tee...let me think about it...

I figured it out. I used an adapter in the tee that was 1/8 male x 1/8 compression (that is the brass part that is standing up in the third pic).

Any other questions, or pics needed let me know. I searched high and low for about 3 weeks before I got the answers I needed regarding this.
I put the adapter into the block, then the tee into the adapter, then the stock sender into the tee as well as the copper tubing kit for the mechanical gage. I have heard that the copper will harden and crack over time...guess I'll find out...

Well after closer inspection on another thread the adapter part that was a tee and an adapter all in one had one to many ports on it. I ordered the auto meter adapter. I'll head to home depot to look for the "tee" and as for that brass part that is standing up in the third picture I think it came in my gauge kit but I'll have to check. Thank you for you help Jason
