Correct oil pressure sending unit for early (carb) 2.8 with gauge package?
83 Firebird base, 2.8 carb, gauge package
Rockauto and the auto parts stores list a slew of different oil pressure sending units in varying shapes and prices from $5 to $30!
Mine... is old. And always reads 80lbs haha
Which is the correct one? Or are they just different designs and it doesn't matter?
Is there a different one for the idiot-light dash cars or no?

Thought so. They don't seem to be marked any differently though in the descriptions.
Maybe the small ones are for just the light? hmm

That bottom pic is the one in the car. You can thank great-fitting chrome valve covers for that one!
