I'm trying to understand what the oil pressure line and fitting should look like on my 67 327/300.
The attached photo shows what I have now. Note that the line seems to have been spliced and soldered where it emerges from the fitting. I have three questions that hope you experts can answer:
1) Does the fitting itself look correct, so that all I need to replace is the line itself?
2) I've heard that the original line was copper plated steel rather than just copper. Is this true, and if so, does anyone reproduce the correct tubing material?
3) How does this fitting seal? Does it use a compression collar that slips over the tubing, or is it some type of flare fitting? I want to know what parts I need before I disassemble this.
I appreciate any clarification and assistance that you folks can provide.
