Same sending unit. The tee allows manual and electric usage. The tee screws in the block, the sending unit screws in one port and the mechanical line screws on the other port.

Hey Unit! How much was the total cost of the gauge and the t fitting?

OK...let me get this straight. The TEE screws into the block and the sender unit and the 1/4" line screws into the TEE. The Sending unit is still plugged into the dash guage and the 1/4' tube connects into the new dash mounted guage.

I noticed that your stock dash guage works still but mine doesnt. I really just want mine to work.

I have replaced the sending unit but it didnt fix it...any other ideas to get my stock guage fixed?

Sorry I missed the question. $5 for Oreilly to build the tee and the gauge was in my junk drawer. I've used harbor freight gauges for $20 on other projects. They work great.

I've had two O'Reilly sending units now, both plastic and both lasted about two years and started leaking again.
