[DeTomaso] Oil Pressure Senders?

[Will Kooiman]

Yes, I understand, but inaccurate is inaccurate.  If the stock setup is
inaccurate, it does little more than tell you if you have any pressure at
all.  So if you make it more inaccurate, I still just tells you that you
have some pressure ­ but not how much pressure.

My point is if you are staying with the stock setup, yo shouldn't worry too
much about making it more inaccurate.

The only problem with that is, the front of the block (including the oil
filter adapter) sees pressure directly out of the pump, while the 'normal'
position of the gauge sender sees pressure from the far end after all the
lifters & bearings have been supplied. The results (with an accurate gauge)
may be 30 psi higher at the front. So pressures off the filter housing will
not relate to that of other Pantera owners with 351Cs.   FWIW- J Deryke
