oil press. sender (autometer)???

[blksn955.o]

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?

Thanks

I mounted mine where the air filter normally sits, on that little shelf. I then ran a braided line to it.

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......

Good luck.

I had mine mounted with braided line also until I deleted the A/C now it has a 3" tube with a 45° fitting so the sender faces the front of the car.

I will try somemore tomarrow, but it looks like the remote with some braided line is going to be the setup for me.

Thanks guys

Have you looked at Andy's pics for an idea of how he did his (not remotely)? It might help with ideas.

Good luck.

Who is Andy and were are his pics?

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.

Good luck.

that is a detailed install.

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).

Thanks guys.
