SBC Oil Pressure Adaptor

The SBC Oil Pressure Adaptor from Dakota Digital is an essential fitting for small-block Chevy engine builders and mechanics running aftermarket engine monitoring systems. This 45-degree adapter bridges the gap between your engine's oil galley and digital gauge clusters or electronic sensor platforms, allowing you to safely tap into your engine's oil pressure signal without compromising structural integrity or blocking access to critical service points. Whether you're building a street machine, race engine, or upgrading a classic with modern instrumentation, this adapter solves the common installation challenge of routing oil pressure sensors in tight engine bay configurations.

Machined from brass and fitted with 1/8-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) ports on both ends, the SBC Oil Pressure Adaptor delivers reliable, corrosion-resistant performance in high-heat engine environments. The 45-degree angle design is purpose-engineered to clear cylinder head ports and intake manifold passages common on small-block applications, while the dual 1/8-inch NPT configuration accepts standard aftermarket oil pressure gauges, Dakota Digital sender units, and electronic control modules without adapter stacking. Brass construction provides excellent thermal stability and won't degrade under sustained oil temperatures exceeding 250°F, a critical factor when monitoring engine health on turbocharged or high-output builds.

This fitting is ideal for small-block Chevy applications including 350, 383, and 427 variants where OEM sender locations conflict with modern intake manifolds or high-rise intake plenums. Mechanics and engine builders favor this adapter for seamless integration with Dakota Digital instrument clusters and compatible third-party pressure transducers. Installation requires only an adjustable wrench or flare-nut wrench; wrap threads with PTFE tape to ensure leak-free sealing. The compact 1.75 x 1.25 x 4.15-inch profile fits tight engine bays without sacrificing functionality, making it an industry-standard solution for professional engine builds and enthusiast restorations alike.
