tencentlife's adapter kit for connecting a adapter which allows a fellow
to mount a oil pressure gauge sender alongside the stock oil pressure
warning light sender has this to say about torquing:

"Torque recommendations are meant as relative guides, it will not
generally possible to actually use a torque wrench on the fittings in
this installation."

"...Tighten the fitting carefully, it has a taper thread so it will seal
into the case hole with moderate torque, generally less than 8-10ft.lb."

and

"The compression fittings should attain a good seal with only
10-12ft.lb. of torque, so don't overdo it."

I'm assuming that some of yinz have fingers calibrated after many years
of experience. Is there any wisdom that can be shared here?
