Hey Guys,
m trying to figure out my oil pressure sending unit issue as my jumping gauge is driving me nuts to continue to look at. To my knowledge, its located next to my distributor cap and is large (like the size of a coffee cup it seems). However, I can't find it anywhere on the net to replace. Also, while trolling around the net I see there is also one that is next to the oil filter. So, my question is, which is the one that I need??? I plan on getting the car up in the air later to take a peek underneath to see if I have one next to the oil filter. Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Well, it's going to be one or the other. Silver/gold can next to the distributor, or silver/black plastic sticking out the side of the block above the oil filter. Pretty sure 87 has the silver/gold can by the distributor, along with a oil pressure switch.
Rockauto.com pull up the 87 Camaro, look in Electrical-Switch & Relay for Oil Pressure Sender / Switch. So many options I can't even get a screen shot with all of them on one page.
