The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Source for main oil line?

So, the 235 has a steel tube from the oil pump to the block, which feeds the oil at pressure into everywhere. This is the line down under the oilpan, about 1/2" diameter.

I need a new one. Doesn't seem to be a common item. I can
find copper tubing the right diameter, but the old pipe was steel. I'm afraid if I use copper, it will crack or split eventually, and ruin the motor.

I've got the fittings. Any idea where to get 1/2" steel tubing? I only need 6-8"

George,
I had the same problem with my sump line on the 216 and I ended up buying a good used one on ebay. Where did you get those fittings ? I was able to buy the line NOS from , I think it was Antique Chev Parts (I will check) but I couldn't get the fittings.
