Ford 600 oil pressure line ...

tdwinklr@gmail.com · Oct 14, 2019

I'm replacing the damaged oil pressure gauge copper line on a Ford 600. The new gauge/line I bought from YT here but instead of the line having male fittings to go straight into the block, this line has female fittings and the adapters they sent with the gauge are not going to work.
Now I'm having a lot of trouble just finding a fitting that will let me convert the female fitting to a male.
Any ideas?

You need a 1/8" "inverted flare nut".

Used to be common, now not so much.

Any auto parts store that sells Tomkins/Edelman products should be able to get you one.

Also available through Amazon, but NOT cheap!

Also, I meant to add, it sounds like you still have the damaged line, you could remove the old fittings and install on the new line, then flare.

I don't have a 1/8" flare tool : ( so I used an oil line kit from napa # 701-2154. I did not remove the line at the pump so spliced into it yes I cheated...

If you use this kit make sure you install the sleeves all the way on the line so they protrude a tad so once its crushed it is not going anywhere...

Looks like I'll have to because I can't find this size fitting anywhere around here. Thx.
