    need help: JTD oil distro block / pressure sender

    I'm installing the Eastern Motorworks gauge cluster, and am having an issue with the VDO oil pressure sender screwing into the JTD distribution block. It's getting *very* tight long before screwing down all the way to the face of the block, and I'm afraid of stripping or breakage. Is this a taper tap, intended to seal without a face seal on the copper washer? Quick responses appreciated. Thanks.

    I hope they gave you the 12 x 1.5mm thread instead of the 12 x 1!!

    It shouldn't go all the way in but it should go much of the way in.

    ok. It looks fine now. The VDO website says all senders are SAE tapered fittings. Installed and it doesn't leak. Thanks.
