oil pressure sender location...

[Josh.Hignight@phoenix.edu (Josh Hignight)]

Now here is where I get confused. 

The oil pressure sending unit (dual sender) is listed as having the gauge
sender (spade marked "G"), and a 0.3 BAR switch (unmarked spade). 

In the ETKA, it's supposed to replace the 1.8 BAR switch (WHITE). But the
actually switch I would think it should replace is the 0.25 BAR switch
(BLUE). 

Doesn't this make more sense since the switches are closer together in BAR
rating (0.3 - 0.25 vs 0.3 - 1.8)...

yup, kind of-- you want to keep the sender in the front of the oil filter 
flange, but move it to the position of the rear sender, where it fits.  the 
dual sender replaces the sender in the rear, except it wont fit. so put it 
in front where the other sender was. got it :) ?

if yes is my sender a dual sender type (it's got two male spades for 
connecting wires to it). any tip out there... also have a volt veter i'm 
going to hook up, I'm guessing any switched 12v line will do...

yeah, that's how i did it. it won't be as accurate as if you wired it 
directly to the battery or alt (forget which), but who cares. it'll give you

a general idea. i spliced it into those wires that power the gauges.
