Tightening that nut did seem to stop it from leaking. I may still just take it off and put a straight adapter in though anyway, just to be safe, but it works for diagnostics for now until I get the gauge in permanently.

Yeah that crossed my mind, but I don't think the hardware on the other side of the valve bolted up nicely without needing additional parts. But I suppose getting an adapter would be easier than a replacement valve.

I got the mechanical gauge after all, installed it temporarily in the engine compartment. Bit of an issue though, the little valve in the attached pic leaks when I open it up to let pressure reach the gauge. Should I have hooked it up in a way that it doesn't need that valve, or do I just need...

Well I'm going to stop by O'Reilly again soon anyway, I'll try to see what that part number was I saw on the shelf. Also, I should be installing my gauge today, will try to add pics of the contents and the process. When I finally get this thing fired up, what would a good pressure reading look...

Strange, when I went to O'Reilly, they had all the gauges on display. The 6234 had a note below that said tubing kit 9901 was required, and not included. But the 9901 on the rack was a plastic tubing kit, and oddly enough, when they brought the gauge out, it did seem to have the same contents...

Ah right, I did see that pic while browsing for existing information on gauges, but I guess the big issue I have with this site is just that sometimes it's like an information overload, and I have to keep revisiting threads until enough of it sinks in. Maybe I will try that tap like you suggest.

I was thinking about a Sunpro, I guess that adapter would work well with one? You have a specific part you used it with?

Plan on picking this up, but thought I would ask if anyone knew any extra parts I would need, to maybe save me 30 minutes per drive to the Lowes or O'reilly each time I find I'm missing a part. Part I'm planning on buying is here: Equus 6244 - Oil Pressure Gauge | O'Reilly Auto Parts Unless...
