Technical Model b Banger oil pressure gage

Hey Folks,
Can anyone explain to me where I can mount the sending unit for my oil pressure gage on my model b four banger?
Thanks

 

Follow the line of the distributor shaft down the side of the block. There should be a plug at bottom just above the pan. Be warned. If you are running a gauge you will scare youself to death.

 

Depending on how your engine is built along with any modifications to the pump....it depends.
On the curb side of the motor is a hump as well as in the oil pan. That is where the oil pump is located.
There is a plug in the block....there is oil pressure behind that. That is one place you can tap in to. The photo is of an engine that has an OHV conversion and a modified oiling system but it shows the location of said tap.
Another place is on the bottom of the valve cover is a galley that the oil pump discharges into. You can pull the side cover, drill and tap it to accept a pipe fitting.
You are going to need a gauge that has a mid range of maybe 15 psi and it may not indicate any oil pressure at hot idle with a stock oil pump. You might have 8-10 psi max running down the road and if your engine bearings are loose....less than that
Good luck

 

You better get a gauge that goes from 0 to 20 psi, expect about 6 to 8 psi

 

Thanks for all the answers the engine is rebuilt an at least i like to see the gage mowing a little bit.
That wood be enough to make me happy

 

Warning A and B blocks are leakers even with modern seals buy a new drilled crank and feed it with large diameter feed lines at moderate pressure for best resaults

 

Here’s mine. I run an SW gauge 0-10. At idle I get about 6, driving I get 3. Engine internally is cleaner than some surfaces I’ve eaten off of and the oil pump is brand new. No leaks.
