Bob - Thanks for checking out our hookup. Cold? I live in Texas - I don't know the meaning of the word. Oh, you mean the engine...

Mike - I am pretty sure that I ordered 90 inches. I cut about ten inches off, but as Bob indicated, it could be routed more directly. Also, remember I've got about six inches of plastic line behind the dash. One other possibility for hooking up directly to the oil pressure gauge would be to swap the oil pressure gauge with the ammeter. On my dash the ammeter is the lower left in the cluster of small gauges. It looks like there is plenty of clearance behind it. I assume it is not a big deal to swap them.

Steve - Top of the Hill provided the line and the fittings. I think the fitting is regular old 1/8" NPT. The fitting they provided fit perfectly on the gauge, although the first fitting they sent was too tight. They graciously sent another that worked just fine.
