Thanks for the reply

1 more question..

I bought a set there are about 8 different copper pieces that came with the gauge.. Do i need to go buy something else ?


does that big piece come out ? or the piece that goes in at a right angle ? ( where the plastic plug thing is ?)
also what size are these ?

HI IF YOU BOUGHT A GAUGE SET THE FITTINGS TO HOOK UP SHOULD BE IN PACKAGE. JUST GUESSING THERE SHOULD BE A FITTING THAT ONE END OF FITTING SCREWS INTO ENGINE BLOCK, ON THE OTHER END OF FITTING SHOULD HAVE FITINGS TO HOOK UP THE 1/8 IN. COPPER LINE DALE jeepman600@aol.com
