Replacement of Stock Oil guage.

What is the size of the fitting that is in the intake? I cannot seem to get any size wrench to fit? Does it require a socket? If so, what size?

Thanks

A little confused (as I always am). Do you mean the line that runs to the oil gauge?

It is the fitting that goes into the intake behind the distributor. The oil guage line come out of the firewall and screws into the fitting behind the distributor.

Just a guess, but it's probably worn out. You may have to put a pair of plyers or vice grips on it.
