Oil Pressure Sending Unit
Hi folks,
I am just retrofitting dash in my 47 pickup with new modern gauges. I am using electrical style this time and I am looking to find the right sending unit for a 302 ford engine oil pressure. I assume it has some sort of pot on the end with an electrical connection. I pick one up recently at a swap meet and it has small end and a connector to slip on electrical connection and requires a special tool to tighten, but it looks more like a sending unit for an idiot light. I know there are many threads regarding the 80's and up fords using a sending unit that only represents on or off. Any feed back would be appreciated.

What is the gauge from? I know my 87 F150 with a 302 has a variable resistance sender, but if the gauge you have is set up for a switch, the variable resistor sender won't work quite right without modification to the gauge.
