The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Oil Pressure Line for 57 Pickup

Anyone know of a source for a copper oil pressure line with fitting that will seal on the back side of the oil pressure guage on the 57 Chevy pickup? The threads on what I can find aren't deep enough. Thanks.

Hy Jerry A, I'm not really sure if 57 still used the "threaded sleeve" setup that was used on older models, the p/n for the nut for 1/8" tube is 6100X2 which is a Weatherhead number, hope that helps.

Thanks. It's male and it's compression style.

Hy Jerry A, if it's compression here are the Weatherhead p/ns for the compression sleeve and the nut for the line, you didn't tell us what size tubing so here are a few numbers
compression sleeve nut
1/8" 60X2 61X2
3/16" 60X3 61X3
1/4" 60X4 61X4
I'm sure you get the idea, hope that helps.

I'd bet it's 1/8" (very fine). I ordered a pair of 6100x2's from Aircraft Spruce today for $.44 each. They'll ship on Monday. Thanks again.

I checked the dimensions of the ones I ordered vs. what I took out and found that the thread went a bit deeper on the new part. That should solve the problem I had with the old one.

Hey Jerry,

I was just looking for the same thing for my truck the other week. Check out that post. Surprisingly, I found everything at NAPA.
