Where to get plastic Mech Oil Tubing
 
i am hooking up my mechanical oil pressure and all i got was the gauge. I got everything else from Aeroquip and now i need the tubing. Advance sells the ---- but i dont want to spend 6 dollars on it again, ive bent 2 rolls of that and wasted 12$ on it. I need like 10 feet (pressure is on the oil feed that way i know exactly how much it is gettin)

NAPA might have it for cheaper than autozone.

Are you talking about an Autometer gauge? Use the brass version. It will last longer. Go to ACE Hardware store. They sell them in lengths. Do not forget the ferule (rings). They should have that too.

i got these quick release connectors for nylon piping so im usin them, they cost me 10$. I will check Ace tomarrow. I need 1/8 high temp nylon tubing. i got about 6" on right now and i read 30-32 psi at cold in oil. Is that low, i am low on oil (i checked it after i saw this and was under the 2nd dot). What is oil pressure supposed to be @ the turbo?

It did tell you something. It told you the nylon tubing is ----. Good to see you're still looking for it. :8

I would even run rubber hose with barbs before I tried ------- with that bullshit nylon, but since it's probably going into the car I'd use stainless.
