Ok, I was trying to install a new oil sending unit on a 1979 Chevy C10 with the 350 in it. Needless to say the sending unit was rusted to the brass fitting and the brass fitting broke off smooth in the block. Will an easy out tool do this job or is there something better?

Easy out should do it, soak it in PB blaster if corroded in the block, first.

That worked perfectly maxwedge. Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure with brass being so soft it would work but it did and that part of the job is done. It got dark on me so I wasn't able to get the ampmeter hooked up and to be honest, the instructions are very, very vague. Whats the correct way to hook it up on a chevy using the starter solenoid connections?

Well, I was going to edit my last post but the icon isn't working for me, so anyways, after researching how to hook up the ammeter, I have decided to swap it for a volt meter instead. Much simpler and it's really all I need. Thanks again for helping me earlier.
