Hey all, has anybody installed one of these yet? The oil sending unit won't fit as the sending unit housing hits the manifold. It's a 1996 ZZ3 350 crate....strange problem....

Any suggestions?

Will be contacting Dakota tomorrow (tues the 26th)

Thanx, mike

do you have a picture?

I have a set of these gauges coming. Let us know what you find

You can use a pipe nipple to space it up. Sometimes a close nipple with a street 45* fitting is the answer. Not an uncommon problem.

Thanx. Pretty much what Dakota told me. An hour after I posted this, my new issue of camaro performers had the same problem on their '67 camaro. Apparently the nipple adapter won't affect flow measurements...

Thanx for your replies, mike
