So far I'm GUESSING I'd need these so far:
3ft of SS-Hose
2 Straight hose ends
1 AN Male Flare Coupler
1 AN Male Flare T
and thats it?
I have no clue what size the senders are, and I havn't been able to find it written anywhere (not even the shop manual)
Someone help me out here?

3' of -4 line
2 -4 female ends, straight (or 90 for the one on the oil filter adaptor, all depending on clearance)
2 -4 flare to 1/8NPT adaptor (goes in place of the sender, hose attaches to it)
go to home depot in plumbing section, and get a brass 1/8" NPT T.
install the -4 to 1/8NPT fitting into the oil filter block. install both ends on the hose (electrical tape is your friend.....you will realize what i mean when you do this. SS hose is not the easiest to make or fit, but there are tricks. wrap the hose in tape before cutting, and leave it on there to keep the wires from unraveling.)
take the T and install the other -4 to 1/8NPT fitting in the center port, and the other senders in the other two ports. use thread sealant or tape. connect the ends of the hose to the T block and oil filter housing, be gentile with the fittings.
route the hose and secure with wire ties or such. extend the wiring to the senders and start and check for leaks.
BTW, ProLine in roanoke sells all of these things needed....

sweet thanks!
Your gonna laugh at my misfortune of today/night's event...
Same occurance as last time except this time was more of a bitch as I used red lock tight on the threads (since I saw that was used in the last threads). I had been driving my car for a total of no more than 30 minutes (not non stop) and well I drove 15min away from home heading off to a service call when I noticed a light blink on, on my dash that has never came on before....yep the oil light...luckily I was able to pull into a gas station parking lot, got a friend to come take me back home to get my floor jack, jacked up the car, removed the left over thread a-fucking-gain and this time removed the stock sender from the t fitting and put it back where it should have been.
Sucked bad cause it sprayed even MORE oil in even more places than the first time, I'm going to have to wake up bright and early and wash my car to get all the oil off the side of the paint, and even the windows, and then I'm gonna have fun washing out that engine bay *sigh*

Re: Spraying oil :(
Berkebile 2+2 Gum Cutter. you can get it at NAPA. use it intead of gunk.
very flammable though, dont do it on a hot engine. and use a blowgun to blow the remainder off, or let it dry good.
you will be amazed
