Topic: Oil Pressure Sender

  On my 59A engine there are two threaded holes at the upper left (driver's side) rear of the block. One accepts the electric oil pressure sender. What is the other one? If I install an additional oil pressure guage under the hood, is this where the sender goes? If I don't use the duplicate guage, do I block this extra hole?

  Ole:

The 2nd tapped hole is for the supply line to the oil filter (if so equipped).

  I have no oil filter. Does that mean I can use this threaded hole to measure oil pressure?

  You certainly may add a modern type mechanical sending unit to the second threaded port at the rear of the block.
