Hey cp im gathering parts to wire in a oil pressure gauge what fitting would i need that goes on the block thanks

[Mazda_Powered]

When I installed my autometer mechanical gauge all I did was remove the OEM oil pressure sensor and threaded in the supplied npt fitting that I got with the gauge. It was a small fitting, iirc I used a 3/8" wrench to tighten it into the block. Don't forget to use pipe tape!

Also for reference, my oil psi cold when I first start up is 50-60psi, warm idle is 20, and cruising is around 30-40.

[Mazda_Powered]

sounds like you're almost there man! I don't know much about tires, so I can't really chime in much lol

[M323GTR]

well i got the inner tie rods done yesterday filled all the tires to get ready to hit the alignment shop sometime next week and gave the car a good blow job with the air compressor lol and today i got the boot cleaned out and looking half way decent im just waiting for my lappy to get back from the shop so i can autotune her heres a pic from today as she sits

[Mazda_Powered]

awesome man! glad she's ready for a tune and an alignment, that's usually the last few steps lol

[M323GTR]

Yup lol i fired her up she purrs her oil smells like straight gas so i gotta change that soon i did get your short shifter you sold me installed feels nice

[M323GTR]

I actually got to drive it to the gas station before it left me strandeD in the yard lol she drives good for a car that needs a tune except she smokes pretty good from sitting she needs to be bled again and brakes need adjusting in the rear it felt good to drive her again and she goes in for an alignment saturday
