Never told me a price either...if I look on the receipt and they did charge me that much I'm shipping it back and Speedway will get my business

They must be wearing gold plated diapers over there at S&P.

They finally charged my account to get those two fittings cost me $49.98...this is the price I was expecting anyways even though it's still high.

Also the guy asked if I wanted a DVD on how to do the swap I said if it's free sure why not.

Just an update for others doing this, the oil sender adapter from speedway worked perfectly. The water temp sender adapter, not so much. looks like it is supposed to be 12mm x 3/8 npt not 1/8 npt.

So in summary, use the speedway brass 16mm x 1/8npt and the S&P 12mm x 3/8 npt. I will be ordering one on monday.

Both water and oil pressure worked fine for me. You sure you're using the right hole in the head? rear oassenger side?

To solve the problem I was having in the beginning of this thread, the oil pressure adapter was getting to hot, it wasnt a ground problem. The adapter stuck it out to where the sensor was almost touching the header. Little bit of thermal tape fixed the problem.

Yeah I'm using the same port being used in this post:

I am going to ask a buddy if I can use his lathe or try to use one at the OSU machine shop when classes start up. If I do I'll machine several and post it up here.

Well the adaptar screws into the head no problem, but the TBI ECT does not fit the adapter. So I am thinking I'll machine and thread the ECT to make it work in the port without an adapter. Seems it would be more accurate that way too.
