Mine is right below the dizzy, T fitting in the block using a nipple, the
electric unit is on one tap and the plastic line to the top and run to my
gauge in the dash.

Well...I'm an idiot. So does anyone have pictures of their Oil pressure
gauge and where and how it attatches to the block? I am pretty
confused
right now. Is there even supposed to be an oil pressure gauge? It
looks
like the existing one that the PO has on here is supposed to screw into
the
spot where i guess is the temp. sender?
Please someone explain?
Again, I am sorry for my lack of knowledge (after all, this is my very
first
rebuild ever).
Thanks,
Dave

David,
What I did is remove the idiot light sending unit and take it to the
auto parts store and buy a "T" fitting with the same threads on the male
end and 2 female connections on the ends of the "T". Attach that to the
block and screw the idiot light sender into one leg and the gage line
into the other one. You will retain the idiot light as well as have the
gage to look at.
Regards,
Joe
