View Full Version : Anyone install a oil pressure switch?? ryan_89_mustang 05-13-2008, 11:10 AM I have a oil pressure switch on order along with a temp sender for the gauge. The temp seems straight forward just unscrew and screw the new one in. But the oil pressure switch I am unsure as to where it is located and how to romove it from top or bottom of car Gronk72 05-13-2008, 11:29 AM The oil pressure sender is on the front left side of the engine just above the oil filter, it a small canister shaped piece on a 21/2"extension with a single wire lead on it. It just threads out of the extension via a hex head on the back of the canister by the thread, (1/2" I believe). brentloftis 05-13-2008, 01:28 PM Diagram local://upfiles/94046/2F7652CB68AE4F5CB0AC5ADD487FAE58.gif ryan_89_mustang 05-13-2008, 02:06 PM I think I found it is it about 2-3 inches long and a 1-2 inches wide?? with one wire in the top. ryan_89_mustang 05-13-2008, 02:07 PM ORIGINAL: Gronk72 The oil pressure sender is on the front left side of the engine just above the oil filter, it a small canister shaped piece on a 21/2"extension with a single wire lead on it.

Gronk72 05-13-2008, 02:16 PM Actually just went and dug my old one out of my toolbox and it is a 9/16 wrench that you'll need so I stand corrected. Yes, at the top of the threaded fitting on the sender where it attaches to the extension is a hex head 9/16. Sorry about that man. ryan_89_mustang 05-13-2008, 02:30 PM ORIGINAL: Gronk72 Actually just went and dug my old one out of my toolbox and it is a 9/16 wrench that you'll need so I stand corrected.

Alright just to make sure I found the right part what are the rough dementions of the sender? Thanks a million Gronk72 05-13-2008, 02:44 PM The sender canister itself is about 2" by 2"(not including the fittings) and tappered at the top with a single push on style wire lead. By the way, I recomend you just removed the sender where it attaches to the extesion a leave the extension, gives you a little extra clearance. ryan_89_mustang 05-13-2008, 02:49 PM Alright thanks, I was looking at the right part I was thinking it was much smaller from all the pictures I have seen. Thanks again. |
