Post alright, the oil pressure sneding unit whipped me...

ok i know this has happened ot others, so i need ot know what you did when the warning light style of oil pressure sending unit brass adaptor deal snapped off in the block, it just happened to me when i went to stick the 9/16" wrench on it to unscrew it in order ot convert to gauge type pressure line/hose connector. yes stupid things like this always happen, thats just how it always goes, now i cant put intake on until i solve this little dilemma.. guess I will go rebuild driveshaft now,.

and does anyone have one of those oil pressure line brass deals that screws intot he pressure hole ? i have everything else, dont feel like buying a whole kit just for the connector..


thanks for anything

Well...try the ease-out (the cork-screw type if you can, and not the square type). I don't know what size would work yet.

Something else...since the block is steel and the fitting is brass you might be able to drill the center and re-tap the hole, then use cutting oil and air to clean out the hole. Brass is soft, and will yield to a tap made for steel...

just an idea.

The sending units from the 3rd gen camaros and monte carlos work with a pressure guage wihout the mess of a oil line, and are reliable. I put in a 't' on all my chevy's ane use an idiot sender too, so have a guage with a warning light too, same for temp, I have cracked at least 10 I6 heads before I got snart.

what do you mean is pressure but without line... thats gauge with the warning light type looking sending unit, hmmm, i have one on ethe 82 Trans Am, hmmm i wonder.. actually the frickin one on this engine i was removing was an electric gauge 86 burb one, so... techniclaly i didnt need ot remove it in that case, but if it broke off so damne easy then it needed attentin anyways, gonna melt some candlewax into the threads and pray, the EZ out is biting into it hard but the damn fitting is siezed int he block badly.

thanks
