Pete Phillips Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I am restoring a customer's 1953 Special with the 263 straight eight. The car came to me with a bare block and all of the parts in boxes. I've installed the cannister oil filter unit and its incoming and outgoing metal tubes, but I cannot figure out where the oil pressure gauge tube screws into the engine. Can someone with a 263 straight eight help me or attach a photo? My '49 248 and my '50 320 engines are of no help--they are different from this 263. Any assistance greatly appreciated.Pete Phillips, BCA #73381949 model 591950 model 76R1963 Wildcat 4-spd. conv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Mine screws into the distributor on the front. I will look at my photos and see if I have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Going from memory, it's right underneath the distributor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
