Hello
I am in need of the brass oil pressure fitting that goes in the oil galley behind
the intake. I have tried Autozone and Advance auto as well as the dealer and no one has one. Do any of you know where I can get one. I need a single port fitting that will screw into the block and allow the oil press sender screw into it. Thanks for any input.

That is a 1/8 inch NPT connection on the block (SBC), the pressure sender should screw right into it. If not and you have to adapt something a hardware store may be your best bet.

If you're talking about an oil pressure warning light switch, it screws right into the the block. I just bought one at Advance Auto Parts. They had it in stock.

Is this an aftermarket mechanical indicator using nylon tubing? That would be a compression fitting with NPT pipe thread 1/8-27 NPT I believe. Might have to get it from one of the hot rod places summit, jegs, etc or alocal place that carries engine instrument sets.

The oil pressure warning sender can be found at any autoparts store. The brass fittings/adaptors are available at most hardware stores.
