I called the dealer and I was told not all the the parts are in stock, but my line is weaping oil and I want to replace it now before its a problem.

I want to retain the factor oil pressure sender / feeding block.

So does anyone know the thread pitch / fitting type needed circled in red? I think they will be 1/8 but not sure if NPT, BSPT or something else. Also does the factory feeder/sender block restrict? Would you recommend -3 or -4. Usually with the range of pressure the IDI makes on a journal bearing car I use an unrestricted -3AN

Are you sure it's not the "olives" that are in the compression fitting that are leaking? They don't use traditional brass ferrules.

I can't remember the size of the oil line tubing, i had olives that came with my new turbo from Conestoga diesel but they sell a kit here at the bottom of their page

The injection pump kit form Cardone comes with 1 3/8" and 2 5/16" olives that are for the fuel lines but one size would fit the turbo

If you are talking about the other fittings, they are 1/8" NPT at the block i believe, and i know they are 1/8" NPT at the turbo oil block, the pressure switch for your oil gauge is 1/4" NPT on the other side. The feed line is restricted at the 1/8" NPT fitting entering at the turbo oil block.
