Re: Oil pressure sending unit

Hi Howard. I have a 1954 Packard Pacific 359/L8 that just started leaking oil from what appears to be from the tee adapter that the oil pressure sending unit is attached to. There is a mechanical oil pressure gauge attached to one side the tee adapter and mounted on the engine block. I ordered a sending unit from max merritt. Do you know what the size, specs, part number and manufacturer are for the brass tee adapter? The engine has Amsoil ZRod motoroil in it. What is the best procedure to stop the leak? Remove, clean, Locktite 592 and reinstall? I tried to attach a file photo but got the "protector" error message.
