    There's a 1/8 NPT hole located to the right of the distributor hole.
    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

    Mike,

    Isn't there also a 1/4" NPT hole right above the oil filter?

    I usually use the one above the oil filter to get the sender and all the plumbing out of sight.

    oil sender

     



    A little help Henery - I have a sbc & I'm running Cyberdyne digital gauges. I'm up I canada on the west coast & I am trying to find a replacment oil sender that will work with the gauge. So far I have found out that the gauge works on 0- 90 ohmes ??? Was given a gm part #14040816 but gm say's the # is no good. I would go to Summit but with shipping # exchange it will cost about $100. to get it here.

    Sorry, no help here. I use Auto Meter or VDO gauges. Not much into digitals. I like the old pointers.
