    whats needed to hook up h2o psi guage to head on 1991 fast strike 60 degree engi

    would like to hook up water psi guage to a 1991 60 degree 150 omc, I have found a small bolt which has a seal washer of the port in right head but the late model 1/4 npf nipple is too large and there are no threads in head. Has anyone got the solution for this?
    thanks

    Most of the time you just "T" it in the hose that goes to the pisser.

    OK, OK, I guess that this is one for the "Old Fart" again.

    The '91 Fastrike needs the brass nipple and red fiber washer from the carburetor on a "primer start" 20hp outboard that can be used for the water pressure hose.

    nipple - #344275
    washer - #334746
