I'm with you Rob. Many gauges come with a very fine capilliary tube. Some are long. There is no way to bleed the air out of them. The gauge is usually mounted higher than the other end and is not designed to be bled of air. Thick cold oil in the tube would have friction and be slow to move. However air would be instantaneous.

We are not talking sealed capilliary gauges, the ones I were referring to have a pipe nut connection at the gauge, you slacken the nut off and run the engine until oil appears, nip up the nut and it is all sorted.

Richard, My point is:
If you don't have to bleed the ones with a fixed capillary tube, and they work ok with a head of air trapped in them, then why would you need to bleed the others?

Two options: take lots of pics as you dis-assemble or buy another wreck that is crappy but original as a reference (and maybe a future restoration). Or run it where it make sense and replace it when you get better information (and pat yourself on the back if you got it right). The Chev manual unlike Ford is particularly unhelpful.

If you could check that would be great Rob. I’ve got enough other things to work on that the line can wait until Tuesday. Lol
