Help! Need oil pressure sender P/N...
Hi guys, just got a new sender P/N 14036243 for my oil pressure gauge. Is this the correct P/N? Gauge now displays 20 PSI regardless of engine RPM (no variation with engine speed).

Tried to get it cleaned out as much as possible, but you never know...
I will have to pull it back out and investigate with a decent gauge. The engine has no knocks or noises so I suspect a bad gauge rather than worn bearings. I've never had one that reads the same hot and cold, regardless of engine RPM. Only other explanation could be a stuck relief valve in the oil pump.

Hooked a mech gauge up today and oil pressure is A-OK (30-35 PSI hot idle, 55-60 @ 4000 RPM.
Factory gauges SUCK!
