Any oil  galley can be tapped for oil pressure -- use your bare block to 
locate  these possible sights -- remember, the1960 location revealed that 
the  senders did not like the heat and leaked rather badly.  Or, be like 
a  Fiero and pipe the oil to the sender and discover that the vibration 
will  tend to crack the pipe.



I removed the sending unit (close to the alternator belt and pulley) and  
replaced it with a 4" (approximate) length of pre-fab  threaded pipe from  the 
hardware store; capped this with a tee, installed the sender for an electric  
gage; put a plug in the other end of the tee for future additions.  It  stayed 
there without any trouble due to vibration for over 30 years.
