ECMlink push connect fitting to gm style map sensor

[OH91awd]

i didnt know where this would be a good section to post in so if this isnt the right one feel free to move it.

im looking to get rid of all of my vacuum line and changing it all to push connect fittings. everything is super easy to run lines to except for the gm map sensor. looking to see if anyone else has done this and what they did to get everything to connect it all together. the only way i can think of im not sure how it would look and the only other option would be to change map sensors.

The turbo v8 guys usually grind the lip off of the nipple and slide a compresion fitting on, but I don't like that as I think it could be leak prone. I've also seen a mounting block made that the map mounted in, and had a 1/8" npt port to thread a fitting in. I'd be willing to make them if there was interest. I'm thinking it would cost $75ish to make them. Let me know.

hmmm the mounting block sounds interesting. yea i would kinda question the compression fitting on that. i just had terrible luck trying to find anything on people making something work. i really didnt want to swap map sensors out but that was looking at my only other option but the block sounds like it would be nice.

Which type are you inquiring about, the old school one that is like 1.25"x3"x.7", or the modern tiny one, thats like 1"x1.5".5"? Does a 5bar og gm style map exist? I've had and used the old school large gm map in a 4bar since 2010. I don't really plan on going much about 43-44 psi so never looking into it.

Be real cool if you posted a pic of your current setup.

its a hose going into the map sensor currently. its nothing special.

There is a guy on yellowbullet that makes a mounting block for old gm map sensors with 1/8npt threads for whatever fitting you want.

Sounds like you need to just keep it the way it is

I won't judge you if I see it

Are you replacing the ones from boost controller to tial WG? Heat wouldn't be an issue?

already done those and mine havent had any issues although i bought stainless housing fittings instead of plastic for those.
