Do you have a Bentley? If not, get one. When you do, or if you have one, 
read it. There is a well written section on the Dynamic Oil Pressure Warning 
System in there. I suggest keeping the bentley next to the crapper, it makes 
for excellent bathroom reading. It helps to know how the systems in your car 
works, especially all the electricals. Believe me, figuring out the wiring 
diagrams for the electronic ignition system really helps when trying to 
pinch a log. :-)

But I digress, the answer to your question is that the dual sender replaces 
only one of the original sensors. The dual sender has a switch that is 
identical to the one that it replaced, and it also has a pressure sensor 
that connects to the gauge. The ranges and switch specifics are stamped on 
the sender(s).

Also I think Summit Racing sells 170 degree C VDO temp sensors.
