I have a 59 Apache and I put a Chevy SB 305 in it. However, my oil pressure gauge is mechanical and uses copper line. Where on the engine can I connect the copper oil pressure line?

Wouldn't it be behind the distributer? Oh don't cross with your temp gauge tube if it's mechanical. I made a nice fire ball under my dash when my oil pressure gauge got hot and melted the temp gauge tube and burned the ether.

Kinda a pain, I made a trap door in my firewall. Easy to get the distributor and wires now.

I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.
