i've had probs with my oil pressure in my 89 5.0lx. So i replaced took the shaft and sending unit off. then i noticed in the chilton 2-47 that it says 15 degrees +/- 5degrees to the front. then it also says sender must be in approx vertical position. WTF ... i noticed my shaft was tilted to the rear and not the front like it says. is it suppose to be tilted to the front or straight up????
shaft for oil sender

i think its not suppose to be tilted, but gets tilted when you tighten it. i just got back from reinstalling the shaft and sender unit. i tightened the shaft first, then put the sender on, but when i tightened it it moved back. so i just readjusted the shaft. this actually solved my forever investigating idle surges & pressure lose. also helped that i put thicker oil cause i also think my bearings are going out.
