We want to add a mechanical oil pressure gauge to the 5.3L in my son's '83 El Camino. We have an adapter that replaces the block off place just above the oil filter:
My question is, can I remove this plate with the engine full of oil? Is the oil level below this plate or will it dump a couple of quarts on the floor?
If the oil level is above this plate, we can easily wait until the next oil change to connect the new oil pressure gauge.
Thanks.
John
