The oil pressure guage suppply line originates from the Oil filter
housing. This is to say the least an unusual fitting. The supply line
is terminated with a "banjo" fitting that fits over a stud and is
sealed with 2 copper washers and an acorn type nut. Although they look
similar the 2 copper washers have different size I.D.'s. The washer
with the larger hole should be fitted first against the filter housing
to allow oil to seep through the large hole into the O.P. line. The
washer with the smaller I.D. on the outside of the banjo fitting to
prevent leaks. Be careful of the Acorn type nut so that the stud
doesn't punch out the end when attached improperly. I do not think that
new replacements are available??
