C2 - 327/300 Oil Pressure Fitting - 1/8 NPT?

[Brian Monticello]

I don't have my books with me and I need to order some equipment online. Is the oil pressure fitting on a '67 327/300 1/8 NPT?

Thanks!

if you mean the fitting in the block behind the intake it is 1/8" NTP

Yes, this is the fitting I was referring to. Just to be sure the opening on the block is female, correct? (I screw the test gauge into the block) I suspect (and hope) my oil pressure gauge is off and need to test it directly.

Thanks again

I would recommend obtaining a "T" fitting; you can get this at any good hardware store. It should have 1 1/8" male fitting and 2 1/8" female fittings. The male fitting goes into the block and the two female fittings serve as the attachment points for both the test gauge and the in-car gauge. This way you can compare readings and determine exactly how much, if any, the car gauge is off.
