I got a strange leak at the rear of my engine. Happens right near the sending unit. I first thought it was the sending unit, which it was partially (got a new one and some of the leaking stopped, but it still leaks a lot. I then thought it was the intake, took it off, resealed everything perfectly, new distributor seal as well and just resealed the valve covers, and its still leaking. Now I am thinking the last thing it could possibly be is the standoff/npt fitting for the oil sending unit that goes into the block. Only thing is I can't for the life of me find one for sale. None of my local auto stores had one, nor did my local hardware store. I need a 90 degree fitting at the end.

Anyone know where I can get one? If this doesn't fix the leak I will be at a loss for words.

383 stroker,
rpm air gap intake,

Did you use hi temp thread sealant on the npt fitting? Summit has a lot of fittings and adapter type stuff. I've also gotten fittings off ebay.

 

yes i did put thread sealant on it. The thing was overtightened like crazy so idk if that had something to do with it failing.

What did u search on summit? Brass npt fittings? 1/8 inch is what I need right?
