oil presser sending unit where does it go

[bigcountrysg]

usually on the engine somewhere. Which is located under the hood.

no sh$t where on the engine does it go. as in where does it thread into. i have an aftermarket guage and i need to know where can i thread the sending unit in at.

I'd guess on a T from the original sender, which is on the top of the HPOP reservior. Looking at the front/top of the motor the reservior is dead centre, has a small allen keyed bung to the right and the sensor to the left.

Does any one know if the CPU uses the oil sensor, or can you just put the aftermarket one on in it's place, and leave the factory one unpluged?

if you are wanting ro run a manual gauge alot of people tie into the oil filter adaptor ,right above the oil filter ,there is already a plug there to pull out and use, and youre factory stays the same

Thank you Scott, just what I was looking for.

Yep, just found that one myself while lookin at another problem. Definately better option than my original suggestion.

hey i took the plug out on the HPOP oil reservoir the plug next to the ac compressor. There is a sensor with one wire in it going into the reservoir...thats the oil pressure for the dash...i took the inspection plug out which is only about 6 inches away from that and has an allen head. I just went down to ACE and got some fittings...its a strange fitting....and tied it in and now the guage works good and you can check on it to make sure its not leaking...if the guage has a mechanincal sending unit...but i imagine that it would work with a n electric sending unit as well

Thanks turbodude, I think I'm going for the adapter down below though, just to keep it tidy hahaha.
