Default Oil pressure adaptor fittings.

We want to see if there is any interest in having an adaptor built for these NON oil cooler trucks.
Instead of pulling the stock block off drill and tapping, you could just unbolt and rebolt the new flange.
Here are a couple of pics of what it looks like.

Pricing has yet to be spec'd out, range should be arond 20-30 dollars, depending on how many we produce.

I used one of these on my truck and worked great! Sure saves you some time with the install.

I hate the STS design on the oil pickup. Do you this this would replace their crap and not leak? I am not sure what size fitting they use but if I can get it all to connect I would like one as well.

The only thing I see that would be a problem with that design is the guys with LT headers will have some clearance issues with the huge Autometer pressure unit sticking strait out from the block. I know on my Trans Am ( I know we are talking different cars, but its the same basic block) I have clearance issues with the factory bock-off and the sender pointing up. Just my $.02.

Sounds good to me. I'll take one.
Edit: Do you provide a gasket for it or will a GM replacement work?

we could just get you a 1/8 male x 1/8female 90' fitting or 45'. This would allow you to put the sensor anywhere.

if you have a pic of the hose end and what size wrench you used to put it on, I can get you a fitting to match up to your set up.

YOu can reuse the GM gasket, its a rubber type easily reuseable.
