Let me tell ya something about what Racing Beat did to you RTYPWR. You probably bought the adapter block so that you could put more common american gauges in your rotary right? Well, they fucked ya in the *** actually. The oil pressure sender threads accepts 1/8th NPT fittings and should allow you to construct a simple brass T-fitting set up for 5 bucks from Home Depot for oil pressure and temperature. Also, that coolant temp sensor threading that they say needs to be tapped to accept american gauges, they're smokin crack here too. I got a VDO coolant gauge from Egauges (I live within walkin distance of em!) a few days ago and it's 3/8th NPT sender attached perfectly to the stock position. So RB screwed you into buying a 40 dollar block that does nothing that a few brass fittings can't accomplish. I'd call and complain personally.

Do I detect they are not on your top 10 list? LOL

I really do appreciate the Home Depot angle!

Probably your best bet at this point would be to call up Racing Beat and tell them of your problem. They're usually pretty good about helping their customers in matters like these. They've been doing this stuff for a lot of years, and they have a wealth of knowledge...most likely they can help you out.
