When I tore my EB down the oil pressure sending unit on my 302 was pointing up. You know how that extension shaft has an angled end that the sending unit screws into? Well that was angle so the hole was point to the top of the driver fender. This would allow the sending unit to screw into the extension shaft without interfering with other items on the engine.
Here's the problem now. When I put the extension shaft back in (with teflon tape) I can tighten it 180 degrees further than the position it was in when I dismantled everything. With it in this position the sending unit will screw in but it is now in the way of the oil filter.
I cannot get more than a 1/4 turn on the extension shaft past the position mentioned above. If I try to get that last 1/4 turn (to get the shaft to point up again) I will almost certainly break it off in the block. But if I stop short to make sure the shaft ends up in the right position to accept the sending unit it might leak oil.
I hope somebody understands the issue here. What do you think I otta do?
