Kirby,
You can do what I did.
Take your oil pressure sender to the auto parts store and get a "T"
fitting with the same threads. Then get a fitting that will allow you
to install the sender on one side of the "T". Then get yourself a
mechanical oil pressure gauge and make sure the fitting that comes in
the kit. If not, get the proper fittings to adapt the gauge line to the
other side of the "T".
Then all you have to do is install it in the hole where the sender came
out of and it all works fine.
Good Luck,
Joe
P.S. The size is the same for all Spit Engines.
