I'm wanting to replace my electronic oil pressure gauge with a mechanical gauge.

I have a 1975 Stingray and have replaced the oil sensor 3 times in the last 13 months.

Anyone have input on whether the switch out can be done, and (where can I find) a factory type mechanical oil pressure gauge that "will mount in place" of the current gauge ?

Appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks in advance, Phil

Hello, If the block has a small plug on the left rear behind the intake, it's possible. Just need the plumbing kit, and the guage. 

I have a 454HO Gen VI (2006) & took out the sensor near the oil filter and ran a copper line to the oil gauge many yrs ago. no problems. Just make sure all your connections are secure , use the right sealing tape and check for leaks.

Thnx for your comment.

Thank you for your comment.

Why don't you start a new thread for your overheating problem.  This is an old thread.

Thank you, just found the new topic link!

Tried to start a new thread, still associates with the old.

Well first I would get rid of the 50/50 mixture. Use distilled water and only enought anti freeze to keep corrosion down ,say around 20%. Then add a can or 2 of water wetter.  Make sure all the air around the radiator is blocked off so all air has to go thru the radiator.  Decrease your timing a degee or so will help also.  A good spoiler will help too.  I've got a 454 and it runs 172-180 all day.  I have a flex fan on that one.
