Plymouth P4 oil pressure take off

Recommended Posts

On my P4 engine the oil pressure take off seems to be just to the right of the crankcase ventilator tube and next to the block drain down tap. Does anyone know the part number for the brass block fitting that goes in the block and connects to the oil pressure pipe?

As far as I know those brass block, 90degree fittings are just a standard pipe fitting, I suppose they do have a mopar part number but I think they are a 1/8th BSP fitting that you should be able to find in any good spare parts place or hydraulic parts shop.......I'll get out my 1936-42 Parts Manual & have a look but they are just a generic piece AFAIK.........andyd

The part is 1/8" NPT into the motor.  National pipe thread is what is most often used in the US for ages.. Where  as Europe used British Pipe  threads and others.   Comes down to the # of threads per Inch or other measurements and the size of the pipe.

 

The part ( fitting) can be a straight to what ever oil pipe thread type connection is and be a 45 degree , 90 degree or what works best for your application.

Thank you both for your replies.

My engine came completley disassembled with all the brass fittings removed. I have a straight one which fits with damaged thread on the outlet side. This fitting has a bore restriction. on the outlet side. Would this be the correct fitting?
