Oil Pressure Sender Compatability
I have a 79 with a 3.2.
I just replaced my leaking 79 oil tank with a used 3.2 tank sourced from another pelican. The OEL gauge went immediately up to max. I checked the oil level and it was good. took it for a spin and it dropped a little bit from the top but was still close it Maximum, I got the temp up to about 170 ish. The sensor worked fine 2 days ago with the previous tank. Any chance it's just sticking a bit ? Is there any impact or is it just for the gauge? At least it's not leaking anymore.  Open for suggestions.. -Dan

Possibly a wrong oil pressure sensor.

The 2 pressure senders are supposed to be 5 bar units. The Carrera has a pin connector and the SC has a spade connector on top.
I don't see what pressure has to do with the tank replacement Bruce |

Sorry meant to say OEL gauge. Oil level not pressure.

Ok cool. I wasn't sure if the pre - 3.2 tank senders were compatible with the older ones.
