Oil pressure sending unit

[dankhts]

Mine's gone to a better place! Need to replace it, common problem I hear, I've seen posts with pics and instructions saying anywhere from 45 mins, to about 2 hrs to replace... anybody have direct hands on experience having done it? How long did it take? Likely putting it away soon, guess I'll put it on the "to do" list for winter projects...

Manny is right, you have to pull up the manifold.......

Here is a detailed install with pics from another site if you ever want to do it yourself. He did a few mods---- this way after the install you dont have to pull up the manifold if it gives out again down the road....good write up

$50 + the sender!? That is a great price Manny. I was quoted $360 + the cost of the sender to have mine replaced. I found a brass housed sender at Part Source for under $70, so I am not too sure where the other $310 came from....tax?

LOL! I did a search and saw that guys are taking anywhere from 2 hrs to 9 hrs to change it!!!

Prob catch up with you later in the week for it, plans this weekend to finish up at the boat before it gets hauled out for winter storage plus I promised to give all the wimmin in Port Dover 1 final look at me so they have something to dream about all winter!

So, made the trip to Manny's for my oil pressure sender, he slapped it on in about 40 mins! and that included having the obligitory Horton's coffee he makes me bring him whenever I stop in! I mentioned I was thinking about buying a set of stainless brake lines advertised on special elsewhere, and what did he think of that mod, turns out he had them in stock as well, even better price, so I figured what the heck, while I was there I may as well have him stick them on too even though I planned on it for my own "some afternoon" project.... took him a bit longer for those, about an hour, but there was a beverage break included, as visitors stopped by....
It's a great mod BTW, you'll notice the improvement 1st time you step on the brakes....
Thanks Manny! always the best service and quality of workmanship and pricing! It's worth the drive to Cambridge!
