Here is a reproduction oil pressure line for a 216 (and a 235/261 with the "mechanical" sender/gauge).

Sorry about not posting a photo.

The oil pressure sender line can be seen in this photo.

This photo shows the oil pressure line attached to a T fitting in the block with the oil filter line.

If you have a bypass oil filter, it (the oil pressure gauge) is T'eed to the line to the filter. If you don't(many do not) it is connected to the fitting that would have gone to the filter. Step 12 on this page( I know not helping): http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1947truck/47ctsm0619.htm
So, many thanks to tcleaderman for his picture. That little tiny line below the line to the oil distributer fitting.
