Hello all,
New here and appreciate reading and learning from various posts.
This is a great network of like-minded people helping others.
So, I have a 1977 custom deluxe-10, 4.1L 6 cylinder with 3 on the tree and 77,800 original miles - NC farm truck.
Love it. I would like to monitor the oil pressure in real time - not when it's too late and the idiot light goes off.
The question is where should I find a place to fit the oil line to the block? I do not see a plug near the oil filter.
I had thought I would delete the EFE but figured out that was a coolant passage - not oil. I likely will delete the EFE anyway as I am planning a power break booster upgrade and could use the manifold port from the EFE for that - but that is for another post. I have photos of the EFE port on the block and manifold.
Thank you for any advice you have.
Eddie
