Yes I did a search (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

First: 2.0 Type 4 engine... With a Mallory Distributor.

I've done some research for the sending Unit for my VDO Oil Pressure Gauge 0-5 bar.

The threat in the engine case is M10x1 Tapered.
VDO offers a 0-5 bar Sending Unit with the right threat (even tapered) and two connecters: one gauge and one idiot light.
VDO Part# 252.21.67

My question now is, does anybody have experiance of mounting it directly on the case? Especially in the car with the sheet meatall installed? Als does that work with the clearance to the Mallory Distributor?

Thanks C

Do not use a grease gun hose or a paintball gun hose. While they are more than adequate for the pressures involved, they are not rated for the temperatures involved in being screwed onto an engine.

The grease gun hose on my old car melted at the collar on the end that was screwed into the case, and resulted in oil getting everywhere. Chris at Tangerine Racing sells a SS braided hose with metal fittings. It's not on the website yet (I don't think), but you can contact him directly about it. I got one for my old car, and would never use anything else.

Here are pics of my old hose and the new one:
