Oil preassure gauge pipe location? - 01/26/12 09:08 AM
Hi there,
I am fitting up the oil pressure gauge to my 34 chev std.
The original probably had copper line from the lower engine block to the gauge?
The only fitting that I could buy were brass for the attachments and very thin plastic pipe for the transfer of oil to the gauge.
Does anyone have a pic of the location of the pipe and its route to the gauge?
To protect the fragile plastic pipe I had an " IDEA ", to thread it through some small gauge copper pipe, and bend and fix it along the way to the various parts of the superstructure as needed.
This is necessary, because the plastic pipe is very "coiled" and will not stretch to a straight line or anything else?
