I got an oil press guage and looking at the location to mount the sender...it will not fit in there even with an extension,L or otherwise (the headers and acc. brackets are in the way all over), is there another place to mount the sender?
I have two elec senders on mine. I used an extension tube away from the block, a tee, and then a 90* bend so both senders face the front of the car.
Shaun's set-up is mint IMHO. Another guy (on the Corral perhaps) ran his braided line to the PS bracket IIRC and mounted the senders there. I liked it - I just cant afford braided line and Army-Navy fittings.
As an aside, one does have to remove the motor ground near the oil filter to access this stuff. But it sounds like you tried pretty exhaustively to get it mounted......
Here is one write up I had saved (found while lookin for Andy's pics). However, I cant find the pic of Andy's brass. A search of his posts or his ears ringing should reveal the post/pics.
I got it on, I had to get a shorter peice of pipe for the extension, then grind the 90* fitting alittle on the head and then install the sender. The sender has just enough room to take off the oil filter and just clears the lower rad. hose.
The first pipe I got was just 1/2 too long and I had to go to a diff. place to get a shorter one (the place I got the first pipe from was the smallest they had).
