352 Oil Pressure measuring position?
I recently had some work done on a 352 engine for a '66 pickup. I asked the service tech to insall an oil pressure guage so I can monitor some realitic value. Service tech installed pressure guage measurment device on the neck above the oil filer instead of on the manifold. Question, is this the only measuring point on a 352? If so, values on guage only represent how dirty my filter is getting.
I do however have what appears to be a measuring point on the manifold. Please give some direction as to whether this can be moved to manifold.

KT, if you want to find out the temp, use the one on the manifold, but if oil pressure is really what you want, stay with the current setup.

Not to sound dumb, but could you explain why? I simply don't have a clue about these things!
Humbled KT!

The one on the manifold is for water temp.
The one by the oil filter is for oil pressure.
hope this helps
