Mercedes Benz repair: Bypass Oil Filter install, oil filter housing, auto help


Question
I have a customer with a 1985 SD 617 5-cyl TD who wishes to install one of my Frantz Oil Filters. He questions where to tap in to get oil pressure. Normally, we place a "T" fitting where the oil pressure sensor screws into the engine block. Is there one on this model MBZ? If so, can you advise the tread configuration to insert a "T" fitting?
Thank you.

Answer
Check on the side of the original oil filter housing. Single pin connector. Round unit screwed into housing. As far as the thread and pitch. Gee I have never had a need to check that out, I guess once you remove the old one you can measure it or if not the part number is 006-542-94-17 that would be easier since you may have to get one anyways
