for anyone who installed the hrc kit

where did the oil line go for the turbo? did you have to drill into the block?

Never installed an HRC kit but I'll give it a shot

Back of the block on the driver side there is an oil pressure sensor. It has a plug on the back of it that you unplug first and then you NEED a special socket called ironically "oil sender socket". You take that out and install your T fitting that HRC sent you. When you first look behind the block, looking up, you will see the knock sensor in the middle and low BUT you need to go higher and more to the driver side.

the sensor is green on the driver's side of the block. make sure you use some liquid teflon when you put it back together. make sure you put the sensor back in

btw.. NAPA will have the appropriate wrench to take it off. if you cant find one still.. just find a standard closed end wrench, that will work too. granted it is harder to get off, but thats what i had to do cause napa was out of the tool.

Any other ports that a guy can use for oil? Installing an autometer gauge

Are you turbo? If not then you can do the exact same thing as above. Put a t into the block and your oil sensor goes on one side and the op sender on the other side. All you have to do is pull the sensor and put the stuff together. If you are turbo then I don't know if you can use the same area and just use another t or not. I do not have an op guage so I'm not sure what you have to do when you are turbo, but I would assume that you just put another t in line and go that route.

Not turbo yet , but im preping for it , so I would like to have a port available and ready.

Some other posts frown on using the T in combination with an additional Oil Pressure sender. A couple guys have had it snap off driving down the road. So im brainstorming for a way to shore it up after I build the T. Maybe some steel band attached to the intake , doesnt have to look pretty clear down there.
