Oil line routing through firewall for an L6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jabborabbo** · 08-06-2018, 04:29 PM

I’ve searched the forums as best I can with no luck....

Can someone post a pic of the original oil line routing from the motor through the firewall grommet to the gauge cluster for an L6 engine? My truck came with the standard idiot light gauge cluster - I have a full gauge cluster (including a 6 cylinder tach!) that I want to install.

I’m going to make a custom oil and generator idiot light assembly that will fit in the hole of the cluster where the vacuum gauge would go. Why? Because a red light coming on beats the crap out of constantly watching the oil and battery gauge! I’ll keep y’all updated on that project!

Thanks!

Here is a little "How To" I made up to show how to make an oil line. You would have to leave extra line on the top to go across the firewall and in to the gauge.

I also have a few of the lines for sale with all of the correct fittings.
