Hello from Texas to the Camaro owners....
Maybe you all could give me some help. I do not own a Camaro, but pulled the matching #'s engine on my '74 vert vette and am going back in with an AR Racing 355/427HP Dart head engine that happens to have a '72 Z28 block.... or it appears so. The block casting is 3970014... date coded A26 72 and the I.D. pad is stamped 10214CKA. From everything I can see it probably came out of a 72 Z28 Camaro.
The question I have is about the oil pressure sensor on the blocks of 72 Z28's. My 74 engine had a threaded pipe right above the oil filter that attached to the oil pressure sensor. This block does not have that. Where exactly is the oil pressure sensor on your blocks? It would be appreciated.
Here's a pic of the engine that is about to go in just to let you see what I am working with.
