Tapped it! Worked like a dream. Thanks for all the help.

I'm mechanically and electrically challenged, bought a painless EZ waterproof kit. Frame off resto with only the old connections to the switches left (no harness to speak of). In hindsight, I am really happy with it. It was not painless, i beat my head against the wall, etc. but again, in...

I tried to test fit my hard top (dry, no gaskets) and gave up, No glass in top yet so it was lighter than with, but still couldn't get it to come down all the way, I think one of my posts is bent and was binding. I have a box full of SOR gaskets ($$$$$$$$$$$$$) yet to be opened, including...

Yeah, I entertained that idea, but given the tight work area I didn't feel so confident, and i'm not sure if i even have a pipe tap that size. But, since you mentioned it, what the heck, I might just give that a shot. Thanks for all the help, it is greatly appreciated.

10-4. So then try the McMaster-Carr Option Coolerman suggested - I guess? Hate to roll the dice with another Autometer part.

The stock sending unit will seat (spelling?) - aka it grabs once it threads in 3/4 of the way and tightens up in the auto meter adapter. What i don't understand is the taper in the stock fitting vs. the consistent diameter of the "adapter" by autometer. That is the issue in my mind. If it...

yes, much more loose fit (if that makes sense, but it will thread in). The way the hose and fittings guys described it to me is that the 27 / 28 is threads per INCH, and i'm dealing with less than a half inch so it's off less than a thread and that the two will in some situations thread...

Or maybe not. Home now and can't get the adapter into the block. I compared the threads on stock (which screws right in) to the threads on the adapter and the adapter is visibly larger in diameter. Also, the stock unit has a substantial taper to more narrow diameter at tip, adapter seems to...

Thanks guys! The thread info led me to Autometer part no. 2269, and I found a local speed shop that had one in stock.

Thanks for the info. I have a F Motor and then sending unit is located on drivers side of motor towards firewall, just above the oil pan seal to block. I went by a local hose and fitting shop this morning and they gave me a fitting that they thought would work but it's just a brass...

In lieu of starting a new thread.....I have my new autometer gauge panel (Man-a-Fre panel) hooked up and operational, with the following exceptions: 1. I chewed through the $70 custom speedo cable i ordered from the speedo guys i found on mud (they are great to work with by the way, name...

Got mine here Gas Tanks

I used a summit racing universal sending unit (part SUM-290260) that matched the ohm rating on the autometer gauge i'm using and it works well. Had to modify to match up with oem tank plate but not too hard to do.

'72 work in progress.

Yes, they are dual filament, they are new replacements (housing complete) from CCOT. I took a look to make sure. Will call painless tomorrow and see if they can help. Thanks.
