MEP-803a oil pressure sender

[m32825]

Replaced my oil pressure sender today. The front panel gauge was reading about 10 psi less than the mechanical gauge that I have teed in next to the sender. I recently replaced the gauge but the problem stayed. Replaced the sender and now both gauges read the same.

Changed the oil while I had it hot after testing. Things went great right up until the point where I decided to pour one more glug of oil into my funnel... not realizing the bottom had escaped the oil fill hole. Well, that battery terminal is never going to rust!

Good price from Vehicle Controls, but damn, UPS ground shipping cost as much as the gauge itself...

I've picked a few up from ebay for a reasonable price.
