DasWaff Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 My '86 GL-10 has a digi dash, so no oil pressure gauge, just an idiot light... I'm wondering if my newer EA82T has an oil pressure sender on it, but I'm not sure exactly where to look. So today's dumb question is, where is the oil pressure sending unit located? (If there is one). Thanks, DasWaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Both idiot light sender and oil pressure sender are screwed into the oil pump. Idiot sender is small, like a water temp sender, and the pressure sender is a larger can (2" in diameter, 2" long?). IIRC, they use different ports in the pump casting.

GeneralDisorder Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 There isn't one for the digi-dash cars - you will have to add one. I reccomend just getting an aftermarket mechanical guage - I got one at wall-mart for like $10 and it seems to work great. You will have to buy a longer section of tubing though.

Marck Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 If you need to buy the sender, I recommend the autometer 0-100PSI. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=ATM%2D2242&N=700+115&autoview=sku It works great with the stock oil pressure meter or an autometer gauge.

DasWaff Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 oth idiot light sender and oil pressure sender are screwed into the oil pump. Thanks I'll have a look and see if I need the sender, it would be nice/easier if this motor has one... and thanks for the after market info too.

DW It won't - none of the digi cars have senders. They have the idiot switch that closes at a specified pressure, which IIRC is the "stop at the nearest garage and inquire if they are equipped to shut down the communist gnome weapons factory in your crankshaft" pressure.

I know, but as I said this isn't the original engine... might get lucky:) "stop at the nearest garage and inquire if they are equipped to shut down the communist gnome weapons factory in your crankshaft" I always thought is was "O.I.L. Ohhell Install Longblock" DW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
