Default Threaded oil cooler block off plate.

Does anyone know where I can find a threaded oil cooler block off plate that I can screw my oil pressure sender into? Nooks & Tranny used to have them but they are out of stock. It's the last thing I need to fire this engine up!

Try the dealer for an 02 corvette pan. They were pretty cheap if I remember correctly.

Yep, I was looking through some parts diagrams and Corvette's came threaded already. Or you can just drill and tap the one you have to save money.

I am looking at one as we speak. The part number stamped in mine is Part #12551585. It is already threaded but if you are using Autometer sending units for oil pressure you may need the Autometer adapter #2277. This adapter is 1/8 NPT to M12 x 1.5. This is for use with electric oil pressure gauges. Hope this helps. Rich

12551585 isn't a GM part number. SSjon, any ideas which vettes yours came off of?
