Ideal, that is one of the coolest damned little fittings I've ever seen.

That would have saved me a world of hurt a couple of months ago...

haha its amazing what a little simple google search can do

hey so i took the stock one off. how does this thing actually work if there arent any wires going to it?

the connector for the harness slides over the top "nipple" part of it...

i personally wouldnt if you have the proper threads....however it wouldnt hurt anything if you did so.

BY the way, the stock pressure sender is not your typical variable resistance sender, it actually outputs a digital pulse train whose period is proportional to the pressure. Also, it is an input to the TCCS for idle stabilization.... strange but true!

yeah i'm getting an adapter for the right thread and teflon-ing that.

are you saying i may have idle problems with an aftermarker sender unit?

I am not sure how it will behave without it, but pin S-7 on the TCCS is connected to the oil pressure sender.

shouldnt effect it at all.....i had an aftermarket sending unit in my car for years and it was fine...now i have the sending unit and its hooked up to nothing and it still idles fine...

 

[thelonerider]

Same here, been running an aftermarket pressure and temp unit from the original sender location using the aftermarket wire harness and have had no problems... The old rubber cap connection is still there tucked up out of the way doing absolutely nothing....

heres what you need:

this one that has extra ports for other sensors if you wanted:

Slight bump from the past here, but since this post was referenced today I'd like to add that the second link is a damn nice piece to have! It's a snap to install the oil pressure sender in one hole, and an oil temp sender in the other. Thanks in advance for taking your time in finding that one!
