Oil Line fitting help... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just swapped a newer crate motor in my 72 LWB and the original oil pressure line from the gauge that screws in near the distributor does not fit. The original one is slightly larger than the new block takes. The new motor is an 87 and newer block. Can anyone tell me where I can get the new fitting and what size it is? I've heard it should fit just like the original but I guarantee you it is not the same size and does not fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
