Hey I need one of them too (for my 18R-G), but I want to run three things off it - oil light switch, oil gauge, and turbo oil feed. Is it possible to get a 3-way adaptor or would I have to use 2 T-pieces?

you'll have to run 2 "T"s i'm afraid - unless you happen to have a 1/8x28 bsp tap you can tap out another fititng on the t piece with.......

goto an engineering place get them to make you a distribution block from some HEX bar would probably cost all of ~$50 run a hose from the engine to the distribution block and all done!

I got a distribution block made for my 5MTE using some brass hex. $50.
Just go to any hydraulic place for T pieces. Any place that sells guages will also sell adaptors.

norbie: there should be another blocked-off port just above the oil sender port (and same size/thread) or at least there in on the 18R block - i use one for oil sender, the other goes to turbo. saves having a t-peice that eventually leaks or fails from the vibration.
cheers.

I wasn't aware of that... I'll have to check it out on my 18R-G when I get home. Thanks for the tip!
