BBC 402 Oil Pressure Line Location?

Ok,,, probably dumb question but I cannot figure it out.



Have a 1972 Big Block Chevy 402 Where abouts on the block does the oil pressure gauge line hook up to?



Thanks Much!



Have u looked near (behind) base of distributor OR near the top of the oil filter? HTH, s

dumb question but I cannot figure it out.

There is no threaded hole located near the base of the distributor (such as on small block chevys) I have found 3 different threaded holes directly above the oil filter though, the center hole is larger than the holes on either side,, I wonder which of the 3 is for the oil pressure line?

Start it up and see which one the oil shoots out of...

Does it hve an oil pressure sender unit on it? s

Is any 1 of them a 1/8-inch pipe thread? If so, that'd be one to try. s
