1/8 BSPT....a 1/8" NPT fitting will start to thread in but you'll wreck the threads.

Shopping for parts to plumb oil pressure port for Factory dummy light and an autometer gauge.

Is it better to use brass or SS adapters and fittings? I know the Autometer fittings are brass but I'm not sure I want a brass tee hanging both sending units off it.

input?

If you unplug the dummy light it will stay off... so who cares

I think youd be best off getting one of these guys

1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT....I dont think theres much reason to use SS...
