Oil Pressure Gauge & Idiot light Sending Unit Bushing
I’ve cobbled together hardware store fittings (at oil filter adapter) to have both an oil pressure gauge line and the factory idiot light sending unit. I don’t like the look of it. Is there a simple bushing that has a male fitting to screw in (and seal up) at the filter adapter and has two female ports that the gauge and sending unit can screw into (and seal up)?
The link shows what I’m trying to achieve… https://firstgenfirebird.org/forums/...pter%20004.jpg |

See if you have the room to use another 1/8” hole that you drill & tap into the oil filter adapter.
Then you might only need a 45 or 90 degree fitting / adapter to get things plumbed up. If this is too much work then you need a male 1/8” pipe T fitting block that goes to a female 1/8” at each end.

Use the NPT hole next to the distributor for your oil pressure gauge and you won't need any adapters coming off your oil filter housing.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
