Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines where to find oil pressure sending unit?

Looking for the sending unit that goes in the small passenger side hole. Is this part still available/ looked around can't seem to find it.

What vintage engine are you working on? The early stovebolt engines actually had a direct sampling analog gauge with a skinny oil line running through the firewall to the gauge. There was no "sending unit" . . . Not sure when this system was replaced by Chevy . . . '55?

I have seen 6 volt senders out there for Ford applications:

but that is after all the era I am 'stuck' in.

I've been working on and off for a few days to fix an oil leak at the oil pressure gauge on my Ford tractor. Strange that it uses a tube with pressurized oil like an old Chevy instead of a sender like an old Ford. I changed the gauge but it still leaked. I found that a fitting was cracked. The more I tightened it the more it leaked. I changed that only to find that the "new" gauge didn't work. How did I miss that? I put the old gauge back on and all is well. I'm glad all that oil was not squirting behind the dash and dripping on to the carpets of a nice car. It was messy enough on a tractor. I guess Ford figured out that an oil line to a gauge and a gas line to a heater ignited by a spark plug was just too much. "It's getting warm in here. Turn off the engine and hand me the fire extinguisher"

By the way the tractor in an inline.

Wow, sorry. looking for the oil pressure sending unit for a 292

You see that line right by my oil dipstick? It's there. That's my oil line going into my aftermarket gauge in my cabin.

If you want to use an electric gauge you can screw the sender in there.
