Oil temp sending unit for 1967 911
Guys,
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the early oil temp sending units for the SWB cars versus the sending units for the early lwb 911`s. I have a numbered temp gauge which seems to function normally until it reaches around 160-180 fahrenheit before it starts jumping way up and back down. At operating tempereature, It will sometimes go down when I accelerate, and then level back up when I lay off the accelerator. Can I assume that its the sending unit.? If so, anyone know where I can buy a new one? Pelican has oil temperature sending units listed for sale on their site but they only list them for model years after 1968. Thanks |

Hi there,
I had the exact same problem that you describes with my SWB 68T. At cold start, my oil temp reach max level, lowering as I drive, to the min. I wanted to change my oil temp sending unit, but I found it Waaaay too much expensive (approx $200 compared to the $20 for the 69 sending unit so YES, they are different). I then decided to change both sending unit and gauge, for a later oil temp - pressure combi (option fot 68 T models). Change done (easy), and perfect reading since. Hope this helps... Dooop |

Doop.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, my gauge faces are the early SWB green lettered ones with the chrome bezels. The 68 models went to white lettering. If I changed to a later style, I would have to change them all. Would rather stick with my originals. Regards |
