I used the T-fitting on my 1500 Midget: http://home.comcast.net/~kvcbk/may_update.html One caveat about how I have mine oriented - I had to make an extension to the harness for the idiot light hookup. The oil pressure sender I have has two fittings, one for the idiot light and the other for the anti run-on valve. But since I switched from the single ZS to the dual SUs, I haven't hooked the ARO valve back up. -=Chris

I'm thinking about installing a mechanical oil pressure gauge on my '76 Spit. I've bought the gauge and know where it's going inside (I hope, anyway), but I can't decide on whether I should use a "T" fitting at the block so I can keep the factory switch/dash light. On one hand, that's 2 more fittings that could develop a leak; OTOH, maybe there's some important function that would be missing if the switch is gone? And, I'd be giving up a potential warning system redundancy (although it seems like if the dash light comes on, it's too late to do anything anyway). Any thoughts? Also, I'm planning on just jacking up the left side of the car about 10" since I'm nowhere near an oil change - any reason to think that wouldn't prevent oil from leaking out whilst I'm working on this?
