...some pics of oil feed lines, with T's away from the block, and espically if you have an oil pressure gauge as well.. I have my T away from my block...but it seem pretty ghetto, and is leaking.

I want to add an oil pressure gauge, but the only Earls T's I can find take a -6an feed.......post some pics up with part descriptions to help me out.

Thanks!

If your going with a pressure gauge just lose the factory pressure sensor. No need for it.

I know, but my whole feed system need to be revamped anyway....my oil leak is coming out where the factory sensor threads in. I have taken it out twice and reassebled it, but it still leaks.

I was dumb and only ran the T 8" away from the block. It is a pain in the a$$ to work on there.....

Hmm, I did the same thing and it leaks slightly. Its because its the BSPT or whatever and I used a NPT fitting. Im kinda scared to take it out or move it around cause it'll probably just get worse.
Guess you need to lengthen that T up the firewall and go from there. But you still wont need the factory oil pressure sensor.

Well....even though I am between jobs right now( ) I ordered some parts from summit that will fix this. I don't have an oil pressure guage right now, so I am just going to run the line with no pressure warning guages for a couple days. I need to go to the drag strip next weekend( I can't be leaking anything), and I haven't figured out what type of oil press gauge I want, or where to put it.
