So I'm installing an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure guage in my 86 runner but I need to know the correct size of fitting to get for the the connection into the block (22re). The one the installation kit came with is incorrect but looks very close....

 

Not surprised it's wrong in the kit you got. I can't remember, but there's post on here that have the thread size. IIRC it's like 1/4" or 1/8" bpt...

 

I believe the kit is 1/8....

 

1\8" bsp

 

ewwww, why mechanical anyways?

 

NPT!! That's it, man it's been a while since I played with that stuff.

geez I was sorta right the first time! LOL!! bst, bspt...eh.

 

oil pressure is overrated.

 

going mechanical because my stock gauge I have little faith in and electric are expensive

 

Electric expensive? I'm not against your decision, but I'm running basic VDO series gauges and they weren't pricey at all.

 

where did you get them from?

 

an electric guage mean I also have to buy a sender ie $60 total....or is it possible to use the stock sender (has gauge in stock cluster)

 

I got mine from Summit:


If I was gonna do it again, I'd get them from these guys they have lots of good stuff:
