What about the newer Panthers? Just throwing out an idea. Would they work?

Pipe! Factory sender is 1/4-NPT, AutoMeter sender is 1/8-NPT. I'm experimenting with running a pressure tube to the AutoMeter sender mounted on the fenderwell.

I'd try and mount it on the engine so you don't have any repetitive flex in the line.

Of course! How is advance treating you lately?

That's probably a good thought. Also save the hassle of having to ground the thing separately. Hm......

Well if you used copper line, grounding definitely wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, I was cheap and used plastic/nylon, figuring it seems to work okay for lots of people using mechanical gauges! I worry about it, though, so you've definitely got me rethinking the plan.

My nylon one just busted on me a couple weeks ago. Luckely it busted in the engine bay and not the dash. My new copper line is sweet, it seals perfectly. My old nylon line would get moist around the fitting on my gauge and the engine, the copper line seals perfectly.
