Yep...sending unit is near the back of the engine (when standing in back of the car). An adapter to span the shortage of the late model line was purchased with the tensioner upgrade kit, but the adapter was not threaded properly and the two parts would not seal. The adapter was aftermarket and not a P-part. After going through a complete topend rebuild, this is a little frustrating. Started the engine up yesterday for the first run-in and everything went pretty well except for this oil leak. I have to dial the carbs in and adjust the timing, but it started fine and sounded great.
If my local dealer can't come up with the part number for the correct line, I'll call Stoddard.
Thanks for your help.
