Threaded port again

[Rams18]

Hi again, I found the lower block coolant drain but the port I’m questioning is higher up. I put headers on the car but now there is very little room for oil pressure unit, could this port be used? I've included pics. Thanks again.

There are two clutch linkage pivot ball mounting holes in line with each other the back one is for cars and the front one is for trucks. Both are 7/16-14 thread. The oil passage is above the back one it is pipe thread.

Yellow circle is the oil passage, the white circles are the clutch pivot holes.

Hey thanks, Any ideas of how to keep the oil pressure sending unit. With the headers it looks awful tight , probably won’t work in the original position

Plug that one off and use the oil port under the distributor. Might have to add a tee if that port is already being used.

Well I have a Edelbrock performer air gap intake. It has no ports near the distributor The port you’re talking about is in the stock manifold correct?

The oil port is in the block just behind the intake manifold.

Oh OK, thanks for all your help. It’s only been 40yrs since I messed with hotrods. I’ve forgot most of what I thought I knew!
