What size pin on 84-89 oil pressure sender?
Help. I was soldering the connection on the oil pressure sender, and not having three hands, dropped the connector into catch tray under the pulley - I think.
Anyway, consider it gone. So....can anyone tell me what size snap pin connector I need to pick up at Radio Shack? Better yet, does any have a spare they would like to part with? Thanks Bill K

Just went out and measured a spare in the garage.
It is 4mm diameter and 10mm long.

Thanks Bill.
McMaster offers a .156 and a .180, and the on-line converter gives me 4mm = .157, so looks like I'm back in business. Bill K

Female, 18-22 gauge (red), .157 bullet connector worked perfectly for me.

Thanks Graham.
I see I'm not alone in my search for the wandering readings, and intermittent service from the oil pressure gauge. I should have looked more closely at the connection before I threw money at a new sender from our host. Bill K
