the PO had the gauges in the console but not hooked up... he gave ma a dual sender with the car I hooked it up when we put the engine in,,, and it didnt send any signal, so it might be the wrong one or maybe it was just plain defect, either way I hooked up a new factory idiot light sender so I could verify I had oil pressure, which I do, so now I'm trying to decide if I need to run the psi gauge... mine is a stock set up only with carbs and a slight cam. I have read there is a slight issue with the dual sender making the dash light flicker possibly. so I would probably put in a T so I could run the factory light trigger sensor also.... So should I get a single sender for the VDO gauge? are all the VDO senders the same??? This one is amaller because he had a bunch of electrical tape holding it in the rubber ring... I cant raelly read the numbers on the side... just kinda taking a poll do you runa a PSI gauge??? if so did you use 2 senders? if not and are using a dual sender, do you get the flickering light??? Thanks

I use a dual VDO sender for the oil pressure. One wire (stock) to the idiot light and one wire to the pressure gauge. Also have an oil temp with real numbers. I've never had any flickering dahs lights due to the sender. Sorry no P/N. A CHT will be next, I've already run the wires (when I built the car).
I'd highly recommend the the oil pressure gague. I've seen my pressure drop on clover-leaf freeway on ramps. |
