I bought a speco oil pressure gauge and there's one problem is that when i went to take the stock standard one out and put the new one in it was different thread the new one is i think a 10mm by1 thread and the old one is a 1/8 gas thread aparently. Has anyone had these problems and could you get adaptors for it or Do i have to go a differrent brand?

Should be able to get adapters pretty easy, hydraulics/pneaumatics shop should have them, or even the speed shop that sells gauges, my autometer had adapters with it.
