Galaxie 289 second oil pressure port?
Does the 289 engine have an 2nd oil port to install a direct pressure oil gauge. Or, do I have to install a brass fitting to "T" off? Thanks Rob

Re: Galaxie 289 second oil pressure port?
There's one right behind the intake manifold at the back of the engine that I always use for direct oil pressure (most of the Ford motors from the 60s have the same spot) and there's one up front that the factory used with a hex nipple and electric oil pressure sender. The one on the front is on the driver's side, just up from the oil filter.
If you have troubles finding it, I can probably take some pics of one I have out on a stand... Mike |

I would say you need a "T". On my 66 - 289, The only plug at the back is to drain the water out of the block and that is down low on the side.

Ok guys, I checked the back of the engine and cannot find a plug to port the oil gauge. I scanned the area with an inspection camera I use to check between walls.

I have never seen an oil galley plug behind the intake either. (Unless you're looking at an orange engine with the distributor at the wrong end!)

Wonder if it got confused with the 351C/M-400?

If you're wanting to have both a gauge and a dash lite get a dual sender.
