Re: Sender Help

The first picture shows two oil pressure sensors.
On our Chevy's the sensor uses a single wire, these might be aftermarket units.

The second one is your knock sensor. Connects to a single wire as well.

Re: Sender Help

the oil pressure sensors shown are just on/off pressure switches-no wonder the oil pressure gauge doesn't work.The single terminal one probably meant for warning light,the dual terminal one likely for fuel pump turn-on-(in factory setup,actually the "failsafe"to complete circuit to fuel pump if the fuel pump relay fails)
