Oil pressure line for BB 502 in a 1965
Hi there,
My oil pressure line connection at the engine was leaking and I'm not really impressed with the nylon line that was attached. It is a 502 Gen VI big block motor and they put in a $10 oil line...
Who makes the best line connection kit, preferably in copper I suppose, that will connect to a 65 BB oil pressure gauge?

Can you elaborate on why we shouldn't use copper tubing? Other than the part #'s you list from Paragon other brands like Auto Meter have copper tubing in their kits. Just curious. Thanks.

It will vibrate and crack and leak. Save copper lines for your house

Thank you Sir!
I was searching 1964 which is why I didn't see the 1131k number. LOL!
I had a little drip this morning with mine, it's the plastic line, so it's getting replaced with the correct parts.
Thanks again,
