[DeTomaso] Oil Pressure Gauges

[jderyke at aol.com]

That's standard. We have an Italian gauge and a U.S. sender. I once pulled NINE different senders off the shelf and added them one at a time to our Pantera. The gauge showed 7 different pressures, all lower than a mechanical gauge teed into the same port as the electric sender. I left the mechanical gauge hooked up for when I really want to know the oil pressure, I use the electric gauge to tell me if the engine is running....

Subject: [DeTomaso] Oil Pressure Gauges


When going through 5332's engine I replaced the oil pressure sender
   with a
sender from NAPA - their part OP6091.  With the new sender,
   which their
parts book listed for my '73 Pantera, it appears the oil
   pressure gauge
reads pretty much half what the actual pressure is.  Any
   comments from the
folks who know about such things?


   I did verify a good ground at the
sender, and the engine has two new
   ground straps.  Voltage is around 14 to
14.5.
