Sending units
Where would I find the temp and oil gauge sending units on my car to replace them? I just swapped a gauge cluster and I need sending units for the gauges that were just dummy lights before.
Another question...My fuel gauge keeps jumping up and down all the time even when I'm idling. It shows the correct amount of fuel but it just keeps moving around it, sometimes more when I speed up or slow down.

fuel guage electrical regulator, sounds like yours is bad, it isusually mounted on the back of the guage, they used to be a winding of copper wire and can break or burn up
oil pressure sender is brhind the distributor at the centerof the engine on the v-8's
and the dash tep sender is in the front end of the driver side cylinder head on the v-8's
good luck

Thank for the help
btw mines a v6 I forgot to mention. I guess I can go to pick'n pull and get another gas gauge.
And one more thing. Does a tach from a v8 work the same if it is put on a v6 2.8? that tach I have is from a v8 and don't know if it is just me or if the tach is reading wrong. It idles at 1000-500 rpm but when I'm driving it seems a little low, but like I said it could be just me.

On the V6, the oil pressure sender should be on the oil filter mount, for mine it is anyway. Temp sender is the same as for the V8.
