Putting a 518 in my Challenger and need to remotely locate the OD pressure switch.

Where do I find the plumbing in this pic? Need the low profile right angle adapter and the coupling/lines?

Can I buy pre-fabed lines or is this easy to cobble together? There's at least 50-60lbs of pressure or more.

Thx

Hardware store for the brass fittings and the line looks to be plastic. You could bend copper or aluminium for the lines if you wanted to. Do you have the main vacuum switch and wiring plug for the trans? If not PM me.

The governor pressure tap is 1/8NPT. The line in that picture is mild steel tube with the flared ends, looks like 5/16 with the green coating. Needs to be able to handle 100 PSI, as the pressure is close to 1 PSI per MPH. Should be able to pretty much use anything that will transfer that pressure.

I have found many brass fittings on Amazon lately.
