how is my oil feed?
well i put this piece together at the hardware store. some people on h-t are telling me that i shouldn't use it and that there is a 100% chance it will "bust off"... i see you guys use setups like this all the time. installed it is very sturdy to the point were i can lift the block up (its out of the car) by the fitting.
feedback?
feedback?

Re: how is my oil feed?
that fitting looks like npt if its from a hardware, you should be using bsp, also you will need a restrictor using that large of a fitting... but its your car. You should just get the right stuff from tunertoys or stealthmode and never have to question it again.

npt= national pipe threaded, bsp= british pipe threaded. Think of it as standard and metric. You WON'T be able to screw that into your existing oil pressure sensor hole without cross threading like a ****. You need something that will be like:
(stock oil pressure sensor)--->NPT----pipe----BSP----->(block)
Your block accepts a BSP fitting. Don't try to shove an NPT fitting up in dat azz, beeatch
