Oil pressure sending unit 80 or 90 PSI ?
« on: March 11, 2006 - 11:16:17 AM »
My oil pressure gauge isn't working so I am going to try replace the sending unit. Hopefully that fixes it. The local auto parts store asked whether it is 80 or 90 PSI. I said  :dunno:

Interesting.  :screwy: I can't find any info about that in any of my manuals, but I want to say 80 PSI.

If its performance engine, seems one would want a sender that could sense up to 90psi,
if you have the high pressure spring in your oil pump.
