im trying to find the wire that goes to my oil pressure sending unit. i know it had a round rubber cover on it but i can't seem to find it. does anyone have any idea were it could be. the car was with out a motor for almost a year. i know its going to be difficult, but if anyone has any suggestions please post them.thanks

 

The main oil pressure sender screws into the block just above the oil filter. The 2-wire connector that plugs onto it (round, as you say) should be poking out of the wiring harness somewhere not too far from there.

Some (not all) 3rd gens have another sender up on top of the engine, at the back, just to the driver's side of the distributor. I believe that one is a single-wire sender, just like in Chevys from the days of old.

 

i have the one sender on top of the motor all the way in the back. i know the wire is there i just can't find it. its probably right under my nose.

 

It's in the main harness that comes off C100...big electrical connector on the firewall drivers side near the brake booster.

Start at the connector and trace your way along the split of the plastic loom, you'll find it.

 

you wouldn't happen to know what color it is would you

 

Should be tan. Not to be confused w/ the tan one with a white stripe, just plain tan.

 

thanks alot

 

just wanted to let you know that i found the wire. thanks alot

 

Cool beans, get that thing running! I'm in Morris Plains and it's getting boring down here.

 

it would be running this weekend put the fuel log for the carb is on back order until *** knows when from jegs. i tried every performance place by me and noone has it. looks like its going to have to wait.

 

If you haven't called Bruce's Speed Shop yet, give him a shout. He's in Rockaway and has all things carb. A little bit of a road trip for you but worth it.

 

i never even thought to try him. ill call jegs tomorrow and see how long its going to be.

 

Bruce keeps a good inventory of both carb and FI stuff, and usually by the time you add Jegs/Summit $8.95 handling fee his prices are competitive.

He also has a dyno, wideband O2, and Holley jet kit. I've seen him doing carb tuning and jetting on the dyno and it's a very clean process.
