Since we’re here.
What goes into this hole? It goes all the way through.
I have this bolt in it now to keep stuff out.

Thanks,
You have a Link for the mechanical oil pressure sensor?
It’s 1/8 NPT, right?

Yes it’s 1/8” NPT. Googlefu!

what does the oil pressure gauge tube end look like? Will probably be male 1/8th pipe on block side and male or female tube on gauge side.

I’m not sure I was looking around online, and some say you may need a “T” fitting or something that goes into the block then connect the oil pressure sensor into that. The oil pressure sensors are a bit bulky and may not sit right and butt up against the intake manifold...

I’ll try to spy my Blazers set up but I have dakota digital on it and they provide that oil sensor. I still haven’t decided if I will go with Dakota or get the stock cluster fixed up.

I was browsing around here and I think if funds permit, I may swap to Pro Flo from edlebrock on this truck. But we’ll see.

Do you have a light, a mechanical gauge, will have a tube, or an electric gauge wires only.
The light and electric need a sender.
Mechanical needs a brass fitting, to connect to tube.

You didn't thread that bolt into the hole at the back of the block, did you?
