autometer gauge on 327 SB



I Need help once again

I have an autometer oil pressure gauge that is mechanical, and I have the hose installed on the back ready to go to a oil pressure sender onto he back of the block. I went to order one and they all are "electrical" and no mechanical.
-What do I need?
-Where can I get one?
-Gauge is an autometer Z-series

Thx again

-speeda

Re: autometer gauge on 327 SB

at the back of your block there should be an oil port beside the distributor
use a brass or copper fitting with a crush washer to install the hose there

Yup, my oil pressure gauge connects with a hose through a bass fitting into the back of the intake manifold. You don't even need a crush washer really, mine's just screwed in and doesn't leak. You can probably get the stuff at the local auto parts store.
