[DeTomaso] Oil Pressure outlet

[B Hower]

Bill,
 
Thanks for chasing that down for us ------- yes, you are correct the larger of the two is the port at the front/filter area.
 
Still having fun,

Did I get the locations of use right? If yes, go ahead and post it to the forum. I chased it down to add it to the database.
 
Have fun today,

I think you will find the two oil ports are a different thread ------ the rear one accepts the sending unit direct and the one at oil filter requires a reducer to get to the sending unit size.  I bought two reducers by Edelmann part numbers 210620 and 210420 one of these threads into the rear and the other into the filter port. But I'm not good at tell ling those sizes by eye ball. If it weren't Sunday I could call my supplier for thread size of the two I bought. 
 
Respectively,

The simplest is the port next to the fuel pump, but that pressure is 
directly out of the pump so it won't relate to anything you know about your 
engine's oil pressure or any of your friends: it will be 15-30 psi higher. Same 
thread as the rear port and you can use a stock 351-W oil pressure extension. 
But I would try real hard to pick up the pressure at the stock position- 
maybe with a hose to the port. Good luck- J Deryke
