Title: Oil press. unit
Post by: shankbonanza on November 12, 2008, 03:24:20 pm

     I was installin my detent cable on my 1980 chevy 1/2 ton 350/th350  and when I was installin it back on the carb I accidentally knocked off the oil pressure sending unit?  I believe and when I did this the 45degree connector (to get around distributor) cracked off in the block or manifold.  I was wondering your thoughts on pulling that out and gettin a new connector? maybe an easy out?  what are your ideas?  Thanks guys

Ive done this a few times. I just tapped in a screw driver in it and screwed it out.

it is hollow, so an extractor won't have any problem gettin it out. 

Also, on my 79, i don't have an angle on it to get around the distributor.  Kind of strange, unless your intake isn't stock or something.
