RB Oil pressure/temp
alright, just ordered the oil pressure/temperature adapter (Type one) for 71-79 RX7s. How do I get it to send the readings to gauges on the A pillar? I want to have mechanical dial type gauges, not electronic digits,if that means anything.
Help plz/thx!

go to advance or autozone and get the hose kit. it comes with the flare fittings plastic hose, and adapters, you put one end of the hose in the gauge and one in the adapter manifold. the kit comes with directions and everything you need. they make it with metal line for durablitly but if your running it through a lot of places the flex plastic hose the way to go.
the plastic is what i have and its held up for a couple yrs

Yeah the RESpeed ones are nice too.
On gauges I have the electrical ones. I wouldn't feel safe running plastic tubes that are filled with oil inside the car. Especially if you are planning to put them on a pillar pod. The sending units you can just screw on to the oil filter adapter.

The mechanical gauge has a fitting of some kind on the back to which you would hook a plastic line for oil temp, oil pressure, or a copper coiled wire for water temp. As Kim mentioned, with a mech. gauge, you have hot engine oil inside your car running through the tubing to the gauge itself. Not the best in my opinion.
An elec. gauge on the other hand has an elec. sender for oil temp, oil pressure, etc. Then just just hook a wire to the sender, run it to the back of the gauge, and voila!! Simpler to hook up, much less bulk to run inside your gauge pod, safer, blah blah blah blah.
