I dont know if any of you will find this interesting, but It sure helped me out. I have a 67 coupe with a 289. I have the original oil gauge installed and it works, about as well as a factory oil gauge ever worked. So I wanted to have a mechanical gauge to be certain of my psi. But as you know fords only have 1 place to get oil psi from. Many of you put in a Tee and thats just fine, but for 25 bucks I bought a billet aluminum oil filter spacer that has 3, 1/8" ports around it and I installed it today (took about 10 minutes) and hooked my new gauge up to it, it fits great and does the job, now I have 2 more ports available if i wanted to install an oil temp gauge or oil for a supercharger, whatever. I'll see what I can do to get a pic on here.

Another option....drill and tap as many as you need.

What does this have to do with oil filter adapters?

The original poster installed a unit that goes between the oil filter and the block which allows the addition of additional oil feed lines......commonly referred to as an oil filter adapter.


I, in turn, gave another alternative for fitting other lines to gain oil pressure feeds.

That's what I get for posting at 2 am. I missed the vital info. That's a nice part for $25.

I like the looks of that part and I already need two ports and with an eye on a new Supercharger I'll need a third. Where did you buy it?

Sorry guys i have actually been working @ work these past couple of days to check on my threads. Yes, the drill and tap method is great, but unfortunately for ol rob here, I have a/c and power steering and with all the crap in the way of my oil pressure stem I just got lazy. I got the part off of ebay from a company called Glow-Shift....btw, don't buy their gauges, learned a lesson there. And yes it looks exactly like the one Az Pete pictured above. I think it was 25 plus shipping putting it around 30 bucks. Clearance is not an issue on my 67, I also like the fact that you can mount it in any clocking that you need to get the ports where you want them. Anyway thats all, just thought I would share that.
