.....was installed by the PO. Ya just gotta love some of the modifications. Thanks to Midlife for assistance in running parts and getting the '66 back on the road from a local intersection. We did a temporary fix so I can get the correct parts. It did cause me to miss a cruise in to the local DQ. That was bad......

Nope, not the intake.

It could also be the oil pressure sender.

That is it. This was a brass piece used by the PO for the autometer sending unit. Being that brass is brittle, it did not handle to vibration very well. About 1300 miles worth. I also had an oil leak from the front so I think it was in bad shape to begin with. I now have a galvanized piece until I locate the correct adapter to mount the sender in the factory extension.

Midlife and I also replaced the oil pan with a nice shinny one. After removing the old one, we found it to actually be in good shape. So now I have an extra. The PO loved the blue sealer so now we have real gaskets in place and no more leaks. Getting better all the time.
