Electric or mechanical oil gauge? There are different sender ranges for the electrics.

IIRC -some(all?) SBC blocks have a 2nd oil tap part way down the drivers side toward the oil filter.

Double check the little threaded piece the oil filter screws onto. The install torque on those is in IN/lbs not ft/lbs. I know from experience that ft/lbs will crack that piece.
