Default installing oil pressure gauge, help...

i have a mechanical oil pressure guage, and i bought the copper wire kit, so i dont have to use the nylon crap... but im concerned with the 1/4 and 1/8npt fittings that it comes with will not fit into the spot on my engine.

does anyone know waht size of adapter, or fitting i need to buy? im thinking probably m10>1/4npt but i want to be sure before i start the project.

that and i havent been able to find the oil pressure sending unit yet! lol its supposed to be near the oil filter housing, but im having no luck

car is an 86 accord lxi if it helps. but i would assume honda uses a generic size on most models...

yo boba... you need an adapter like this one (BSP to NPT) that t's off for the oil pressure sensor too... Look under Oil Take Off fittings in that thread:
