You can't simply weld an oil passage for the oil switch. If you had overwelded the passage, it could get clogged. You should have drilled out the old switch instead.
lots of old cars dont even have oil gauges theres no leak so honestly if im not gonna get the answer to the question im askin dont say anythin
We are here to help and if you want an answer that you know, then why ask?
funny so i said i knew where to adapt it near the oil filter thats a good one
i didnt weld over the hole its still there if you know of a way to get the easy out out i'll glady drill throught he piece of brass and put it back in its original location will a punch break the easy out sorry jus dont have money to bring it to shop
Get a new switch. Measure the size of the threaded part and get a drill bit that is smaller by at least 2 mm. Drill through and use the stud remover to get the part that is stuck to come out. You might need a punch that is sharp if the thread remover does not work.
I was tempted to stop answering your question by my professsionalism tells me not to.
Anyway, good luck.
a drill bit will go through the hardened easy out
