Thread: is the oil pressure too low?

Tweet

I checked AZ and AA and a local parts store. They only have pressure gauges to install in the dash. I think I may have to buy one from Summit and wait for it to get here. By the way, where is the oil pressure gauge take off from the engine?

No, you are missing the point. The gauge from Autozone and Advance IS the one you want. Although it is made to go in a dash the threaded part on the back where the line normally goes will screw into a standard pipe fitting, like your block has. Buy that one and use it temporarily and then if yours is bad you can put the new one right in your dash.

The oil sender on a sbc is right next to the distributor or sometimes on the side of the block near the back.
