Can someone please take a picture of the plumbing from the block port to the oil sending unit?
Mine has a oil gauge at that location and I want to put the OEM sender and a electric fuel pump safety switch in its place. Can't just swap due to the different elbows/adapters that were used.

Re: Oil Pressure Sender Plumbing
I love to be the one to say this. There are good pictures in the manuals. They may not be in the section you would think, but they will be there. (Nearly every weird detail is in them, you just have to spend time and go through them.)

Yes, looking now but sometimes... A real picture helps vs. drawings.
Closest I have so far. It gives me some detail enough to see that what is installed is not even close. I'm looking for details of when the pipe comes out of the block horizontal and transitions to vertical going to the sending unit. I suspect it's just a 1/4" NPT elbow. I need a T.

This is on a 52.
Re: Oil Pressure Sender Plumbing
Thanks!!!
So, looks like the previous owner put some extra NPT pipes and a T in front of the flared tubing. The filler tube/sender unit clamp is missing too.
(sorry no pics)

All connected. Next: wiring to the relay with a priming toggle switch. I decided the switch is better that the starter "hot" connection as it will be very helpful after a filter change.
FYI: The sizes are...
Block = 1/8" MIP
Sending unit = 1/4" MIP
