Ok so i bought a couple of brass fittings for my oil inlet on my kae. The oil pressure regulator screws into the t-block that i bought, but the stud that goes into the block won't screw in even though it goes into the t-block too. The packaging for the parts say (1/8" by1-1/2") Can anyone help

thats because the fitting needed is a 1/8" BSPT not the standard NPT sold in home improvement stores. the oil sender probably seemed like it fit because it's aluminum so it's easy to cross thread. the block on the other hand is iron.

I got a different tube and t-block and now it fits. It pumps out alot of oil though, hopefully it wont blow the seals in my turbo. I might rig up some sort of restrictor to put in the line. Thanx for the help!
