Olds 260 oil pressure gauge hookup help!

[Eric Zeman]

I am looking to add an oil pressure gauge to my 1980 Cutlass with the 260 in it and I am not sure where the correct port is to do this. I did not see one in the same location as a chevy 350. Please help!

The port is on the left front of the engine between the thermostat housing and timing cover

Thanks for the help, I will check it out when I get home.

Look for a wire for the oil choke light to the oil pressure sender/switch. Nothing is in the same spot on an Olds V8 compared to a chevy.

Can either of you guys provide a picture of what I am looking for or a link to help me locate it easier? I appreciate all the help.
