Need help fast! Oil pressure gauge install trouble

Keep in mind that NPT/BPT threads are tapered so its not supposed to thread all the way in like a regular bolt. As long as you used some Teflon tape (or other pipe sealant) and got a 4-5 threads in it'll be perfect and sounds about right.

Cool, thanks for all the help guys, got the gauge mounted and wired up and looks great! I'll snap a picture here quick and post it.
