Oil Pressure Sending Unit for 1967 Chevelle SS 396 (L78 Engine)...where to get it?

[L78fanatic]

I've only been able to locate a '69 BBC oil pressure sending unit looking through the usual vendors (was on NPD for$38.99), but nothing listed for '67. I did buy the brass fitting that goes into the block above the oil filter...Ground Up had it. You'd think GU would sell the sending unit too, but nope at least not in their catalog. I was only able to find a very cheap sending unit on Classic Industries for '67 Chevrolet (Chevelle not listed), for $6.99 for 1956-87 Chevrolet/Pontiac....maybe that's all that was used in '67? Hopefully, anyone with a '67 can help me on this.

Thanks,

John

Thank you! I am thinking that is the one I need. The larger one like this is when you have an actual oil gauge, not simply the idiot light (standard in '67's).

This one is like the one you listed. Thinking back, I do believe my '55 Chevy with the 327 I put into it looked like this, if I remember correctly. The one in my '67 I really don't recall.

Just hope the threads work on the brass fitting (which reduces the thread size from 1/2" NPT to a smaller thread size).

Mystery solved I believe.
