Oil Pressure Sending Unit location

vmrod,

I'm not sure that I understand your question about the bushing. I don't see any bushings on my sway bar that are not pushed in 100%. Hopefully the link above will help out.

I went to that site.
THe link I am referring to is part number 'Q'. The bushing is 'V'. I guess that part 'V' must be pressed fully into part 'Q'.

vmrod,

Yeah, that bushing is pushed completely in. Any settling of the location will occur once the sway bar is completely in place.

Thanx,
I still need to purchase a sway bar. When I bought the car, there was no sway bar on it. I didn't know any better and drove it for nearly 4 years like that! I can imagine how it'll perform with a heavy-duty sway bar and new suspension!

The oil pressure sending unit saga is complete! I went out and purchased a new one, and also a brass bushing. With the bushing, I was able to install the sending unit on the side of my engine, right above the oil filter.

I know that it is supposed to be ontop of the block, but I think it looks messy up there.

Case closed!! :s

Here is the sending unit, right where I wanted it. Nicely hidden from view.
