John, you've got an order.
Even though you're going to stick with John's hose remember that Jake says when using John's hose you still need to spend some time working on the ground...
And John explain what Davygrvy is saying when he stated he had to use an Alligator clip to get your hose to ground for him. You must be tougher than we all thought...

OK sorry, ITS ALL DON'S FAULT...

Thread sealant.. When you use thread sealant, you lose ground.
Simple solution to John's hose with no clamp espcially if you own a DTM. Got to Home Depot and purchase an 1-1/4" conduit clamp and some 1/4" nylon insert locknuts. Screw the clamp to the DTM center bolt (which also is nice and grounded). Tighten hose to pressure switch and case and clamp sender in place. Make sure to route the braided hose away from the DTM to prevent chafing.
Thanks for the picture. I had no clue what the set up looked like. Jake uses a 3 of 4 inch nipple on the engine when he tests it and that is the only thing I ever saw. I will get one from John when I order the rest of my stuff.
I have a tapped hole in my remote filter for the oil pressure, or temp sender. I was thinking it would be good for the pressure sender. As for the oil, It would probably be OK as well. It would be fresh out of the engine. What do yall think?
Ron,
I would use the stock location for the oil pressure sender.. If not you will be measuring system pressure and not the pressure the main oil galley is seeing..
It would be fine to use the remote location for the temp sender..
I don't mean to to be a hose blocker, but i installed my dual presure sender/oil light sender in the stock location, with the DTM. It's a tight fit, but it fits. I also have the Mallory dizzy on there too. I cat be done.
Thanks Jake. Really the problem is the Mallory! I came up with a cool adapter kit I will be selling to run the Mallory off a short length of hose. This allows you to push it over a little bit to get the oil sender in.
