| Post subject: | oil pressure gauge question |
Is there anywhere to put the connection for the oil pressure gauge other than on the pump itself? |

You can drill and tap the main oil galley, a cast-in tube that runs from the oil pump cavity to the rear of the block. This is briefly described in Doc's article on block preparation. Here is a link to the article http://www.slantsix.org/articles/dutra- ... blocks.htm Later blocks have a boss cast in near the rear reinforcing web which makes an ideal place to mount a pressure sending gauge. I believe you need a 1/8 NPT threaded hole but you should double check that. Once drilled it's hard to undrill. |
