Sorry- I was backwards. The mechanical ones are cheaper. Don't know why I said that.

you didnt forget about Black and Flames did you??? his tubing got snagged on something after he was working on it, tangle up in his steering shaft and pulled the line out... sprayed oil all over EVERYTHING!!!Originally posted by BlackHawkA4
But if you insist, good luck! Dont fuck up the compression fittings, lol. My sunpro whiteface electric gauges cost me about 25 bucks each.
You can route the oil tubing inside a piece of vacuum hose for extra security.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

I would go with copper tubing, the nylon is a bad ideaComment

Yea, I'm going to go with the copper tubing. The fridge has a water despesner on it. It has a nylon tube. Every now and than it blows up.
With the mechincal am I going to need anything sepcial for the oil sensor by the filter? Blaze was mentioning it was going to be too close to the block?1989 LTD Crown Victoria LX.

No. I have a T on mine so I can run the stock sending unit too. I'll take a picture if I have enough charge on my camera. I had mine ON the block for a while. The electric sending units are the ones that are bulky.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

If it was nylon, then having it near the exhaust would be really bad, but with copper it shouldn't be a problem. Copper is easier to route too, the nylon comes wrapped, so when you unroll it, it's like working with a slinky, difficult to routeComment

I don't know where ya'll come up with this stuff! I've installed at least half a dozen mechanical oil pressure gauges in my vehicles (and several more in other peoples' vehicles)- I've never had problems with melting, snagging, or snapping the tubing. I've never had problems routing the tubing. I've never had problems messing up the fittings.

I just prefer wires to hoses, tho I might end up with mechanical guages in my car for where I want to put them. Nobody seems to make a 1.5" electric guage and thats all the bigger I can fit in the panel over the glovebox without it hanging out past the raised part.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
