Is the steel line to the oil pressure gauge flared? It is 1/8 inch steel on mine but it doesn't look like a flare. Either it is different than larger tubing or mine has had some McGuyvering done to it. I was working on my throttle linkage and next thing I know there was an oil fountain from the side of my block. I had touched the connection, but it should not have done that. And thinking of it, most of the steel line connections on my oil system (261 CID) seem a bit weepy.
