I am reinstalling my BBC into my car soon but it appears all the oil pressure fittings are missing and im not sure what else fits in those 2 holes near the oil filter. After reading other posts I think the larger one is the oil pressure? Can anyone give me an idea of what I need to buy to hook up my console guages. What parts and sizes of fittings do I need. Can I get them at Lowes?

Here are some progress pics of my 489 with Dart heads. Trying to keep it sort of old school. Desktop dyno around 525hp. The 8.5:1 compression my builder left me with made me lose a bunch of HP but he thinks in the long run I will be happier with the way it runs. I was wanting more like 10.5:1 and 600+hp so we will see..

See the '69 Assembly Manual, Section U17, sheet A3, View "C" and "D" shows the BB line, fittings, and bracket - all the usual parts vendors have them. :thumbsup:
