If you're gonna swing the engine I have a crane and a strong, agile 17 year old son you can borrow. Let me know. We'd be glad to help you.
Be careful, I might just take you up on that offer for labor and cherry picker! My problem now is space and time. I only have a one car garage now. Last time I did this I had double the space.

Yes, it's a change from before. That's what has me worried.

The pickup for my AutoMeter gauges is in the back of the engine near the oil filter. I'll check more closely tonight but I think it's at the filter housing.

Question to all: can I drive the car (gently) until I can get it fixed with this type of PSI? I'm talking about a few hundred miles, usually around 20 at a time.

PS: I've got almost no oil leaking from anywhere now that dino oil is back in. Plus, I'm finally getting double digit MPG with my Qjet (twice that of my Holley). Small victories.
