74 duster with a 225ci slant 6. Hey guys, I was plumbing a manual oil pressure guage in my sons project car and apparently cracked the housing. Been looking online and no matter how I word it nothing close comes up. Anyone know what that housing is? Maybe a source to purchase? Thanks Dad
 

Pictures of the housing in question would be a great help. It could simply be a plumbing adapter, available at most hardware stores, but without seeing what it looks like it's difficult to make a suggestion.
Check out the classifieds section for the carburetor or post a wanted thread.

It looks like the oil pump housing.
 
Thanks for the kind words. But I'm an expert yahoo.

That said. , that's the oil pump. I ass3ume it's cracked where the sending unit is screwed into the end?
Yes and ordered a few days back. Thanks for all the responses. I it is odd to me being a v8 guy and ever working on a slant 6. Is it as easy as it looks? R/R or is it more involved. Thanks again

Unless it's in an early A. Then you have to raise the engine to facilitate replacing the pump. It's still not a bad job, though.
