    '62 block to oil pressure guage line

    Does this line have a vibration coil or coils in it? If it does, about where is it from the block or firewall?

    Without looking at mine, I'd guess the coil is about 1/2 way between the block and where it passes through the firewall.

      Thanks for the response. Do you recall if it is one loop or a couple of them?

        Again, without looking, I'd guess 1 loop. I also mention, that the repro line they sell (if that is where you are) is 1/32" too large and the block fitting should be 5/16" hex instead of 3/8". Too bad "they" can't get it right. Many might not notice, but that 1/32" difference in the line dimension can look like a foot to the analist (is that a word?) among us... Best, Dennis

          Yes, I have a new line and yes, I can see it is larger without even comparing. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have even attempted to remove the oil line to rebuild the guage. It was froze on and the fitting was soon rounded. How many strokes of the file, does it take to make a 3/8" fitting a 5/16" fitting?

            "Analist"; made me smile Dennis, on a day I needed to.

              Yeah, you can file down the hex, but you'd play hell reducing the diameter of the oil line.
              I appreciate the possibility that analist might be accepted as a real word. Thanks for your support.
              Best Regards, DC
