It seems as though I have no spare oil distribution blocks and I need one. Is anyone using something else or is everyone just sticking with the stock one? Are the stock ones still available?

I've only used the stock ones. But I imagine that a vac distribution manifold from McMaster-Carr would work equally as well. I would get one as short as possible due to vibration though.
yeah, vibration is what has me nervous about trying anything else. Especially brass or Al.Originally Posted by iTurbo
I've had two brass 1/8" tees (male NPT to two female NPT) crack just from weight of oil sender unit. IMO, stick to OEM. The 84-85 used a 1/8" NPT inlet and the factory changed to 1/4" NPT because of breakage. Keep that in mind if looking for used. The length and # of outlets varied by a bit too over the years. The 86 through around 88 turbo were about 3/4" longer and had 4 outlets while the later style turbo was shorter and had three outlets. NA still shorter yet with two outlets. I always cut off the goofy inverted flare turbo oil fitting and just redrill and tap for 1/8" NPT.
LMK if you can't find one locally, pretty sure I have extras of both styles.

McMaster also has iron pipe fittings. So might your local hardware store

OK, I was out in the garage yesterday and I found this one which came off of my NA GLH.

Then I did this to it.

Finally I added a plug on the top and an AN fitting on the front. Note that the old style big-mamma-jamma oil pressure sending units won't fit on there with the 90* fitting in place.

I'm confident that with any sort of strain relief on the oil supply line the probability of breaking off a fitting approaches zero.
