Your method by tapping is probably the best solution, just one tip if you put some heavy grease on the drill bit and the tap you will catch most of the shavings as well, I also like your idea of the compressed air, using both would probably catch almost all of the shavings without having to remove the head and buy new head bolts and a head gasket. I snapped some pictures and will try and post them I dont have a photobucket account yet, it is one of those things I have been meaning to do. I also sent you a pm so I can get your email and send them to you and if you would post them that would be great. Attachment 616667 Attachment 616668 |
I guess if the polish is your thing that help account for some of the price difference. |
Adaptor The more I look at that S&P adaptor the uglier it looks, I like your tapping method, but in the end I went with a Autometer electrical gauges and used the Autometer shorty sending unit and their adaptor. Thank you for posting the pics |
Anticarb, any chance on getting an updated link to those pictures? I'm going to start working on this this week. Thanks. Edit: Never mind I saw your write up thread. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...l#post14906867 |
Wow. Old thread. I still think you are better off putting it in the block heater plug. Drills to1/2 NPT easy chessey. You can get replacement plugs from a GM dealer for $12. Sure beats screwing up a head. I run a Datsun sender in that location and it works fine. https://ls1tech.com/forums/picture.p...ictureid=55426 Another option I read about recently is popping out one of the freeze plugs from the end of the head and putting a fitting there. This place sells screw in aluminum freeze plugs. Should be a simple matter to adapt a 1/2 NPT fitting to them http://www.moranmotorsports.com/prod...products_id=48 |
Here's a better solution

And the head bolts??? Here's a link. http://bit.ly/1qu6mVr |
You guys are rock stars. Autometer 2277 fits in the head and accepts old school mechanical setups. Keeps it far enough in the head to be accurate. Thanks... |
