WTB- Copper oil line from engine to gage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

86swb · 09-11-2005, 02:21 PM

Broke my oil line taking out the gage. If someone has one they do not need, please let me know how much you would need for it w/freight to 42066. Thanks

suville · 09-11-2005, 04:33 PM

6 or V8? I have one of each in nice cleaned up condition. Let me know which one you need.

86swb · 09-11-2005, 05:06 PM

It is for my 350 ci in my '70 Suburban. Thanks.

cableguy0 · 09-11-2005, 05:10 PM

you can buy a brand new oil line from any parts store with fitting for under 10 bucks. i think it comes in a 6ft roll

86swb · 09-11-2005, 05:14 PM

Yes, but I do not have all the tools I would need to get the lines to work. I will just see what kind of price I get for a good used one. Thanks,

71-longbed · 09-11-2005, 05:28 PM

on a side note .. what size is the hole in the engine .. that the metal tube fitting hooks to

cableguy0 · 09-11-2005, 05:30 PM

there arent any special tools required just a wrench. they dont need flared or anything like that they are just a simple compression fitting

71-longbed · 09-11-2005, 05:46 PM

ah .. forgot to ask .. do you need to use teflon tape on the threads

cableguy0 · 09-11-2005, 05:58 PM

i think the hole in the block is either 1/4 inch or 5/16 and no you shouldnt need teflon tape because the fitting will be pipe thread and seal itself

Tx Firefighter · 09-12-2005, 06:57 PM

The hole in the block is 1/8 N.P.T.

Paul72 · 09-12-2005, 07:13 PM

I've got one I can get to your door for $7. Let me see if I can get it out without trashing it. I'll be wrenching this weekend - I'll let you know....

THE FACTORY OIL LINES ON OUR TRUCKS ARE STEEL (NOT COPPER OR PLASTIC) & ARE 2 PIECE. IF YOU CAN'T FIND ONE, LET ME KNOW AS I PROBABLY HAVE A FEW LAYING AROUND. JOHN

**CUSTOM/10** · 09-16-2005, 11:35 AM

If your using a stock oil gauge the 1/8 oil line will need to have a ( brake away ferrule on it ) I think that's what it's called. There's also a coupling in the engine compartment that also will need these ferrules. I/m replacing my line with 1/8" stainless and new ferrules. I bought some ferrules from gonebad2 Don't know if he has any left.

They are steel and not copper? Wow, all this time I thought they were copper. What would you have to have for one shipped? Yes, this is factory line two piece. I am just looking for a good line at the best price. Thanks. John

86swb · 09-22-2005, 09:26 AM

Paul, I am not sure if that is like mine. It does not look the same. Mine is two piece and not that long. But if you think it will work in my Suburban I will take it. Have not heard back from junkyardjohn on his. He has one like mine and was only going to charge shipping only. But I will need your e-mail for pay pal if you have pay pal. John
