I'm looking at the best way to install the oil pressure sending unit (keeping the distruibutor in place) and when I see the high pressure line installation (greaser or paint gun) I wonder what happens to the air that is trapped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Do people usually purge the line by unscrewing the sender a bit?
Does the air eventually escape (how and why)?
Couldn't this cause a momentary oil starvation?
Where else (or how) do you install the sender without having a dead end air trap situation?
Thank you for your input (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm not sure I would go with a rigid tube because of the same vibration/hammer effect on the fittings & block.

It seems like the hose works well for many of you. I will also set it up that way.

...But I'm still wondering where that air goes...I might try to fill the line upon installation.

Thank you for your input!
