If you haven’t reassembled the 396 yet, you can tap into the oil galley at the front bottom left of the block just above the pan rail.  See photo at http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/396guy/oil_pressure_port_small.jpg  You almost have to pull the allen-head plug just after the block has been dipped to get it free but it can be used.  The photo had a brass plug when it was taken but I used it for a second oil pressure source.   Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle Facts CD in progress ACES #1709/TC Gold #92 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Hanks Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 10:01 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: [Chevelle-list] 66 Chevelle z-bar   Hi Herb,   I have a 66 138 car that had a SB/ 4 spd in it when I bought it.  Don't know what happen to the BB,, I had a 66 396 that came out of parts car so I am putting that back in the 66.  The 396 has the oil pressure line brass fitting that comes out about 1 inch and then turns upward. The z bar is hitting it, thought about taking the z bar and cutting the arm off moving it over the 3/4" I need and welding it back( but I have already powdercoated it).  I was hoping somone might know what the difference is, I looked in the parts book, but no picture of the two part numbers. Thanks for the information, may be easier to figure out a new fitting.  Really enjoy the list, great information and people on the list. I have been lurking for about 3 months, this was my first post.  David   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herb Lumpp Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 8:34 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 66 Chevelle z-bar Hi David,   When I first got my Elky it was a six cylinder w/ a three speed.  When I swapped in the big block, I reused the original z-bar.  I recently bought a big block z-bar and the only difference between the two is the arm that goes to the clutch fork is bent back toward the rear of the car compared to the six z-bar that is straight.  Neither one of them hit my oil pressure sender.
