    You need a 1/8" BSP to 1/8" NPT fitting for the oil pressure gauge. The fitting that comes with the gauge is typically 1/8" BSP, whereas the fitting on the engine blocks are 1/8" NPT. The threads are very close, but if you go to tighten a BSP fitting on your car, you will strip it. If you want to retain your factory oil pressure switch (the little dummy light on the dashboard), then you will also need a brass T. Usually Autozone or Advanced Auto will have the metric fittings in a packet...

    That's about all I can think of.
