    oil pressure 396 big block

     



    Where is the best place locate the oil pressure line on a early 70's 396 big block. I have tried the lower part of the block near the oil filter and that does not seem to work

    You have located the right place. But just check your oil pipe. May be some there are blockage in the pipeline.
