RE: Oil Pressure Light Mystery

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger: I think you and Dan are on to something: the senders I have are perhaps all for electric gauges, not the light!I have two that are the larger bell shaped and one a bit smaller. One is just off ebay, clearly represented as an "oil light sender". The other two I have were off a 67 440 and a 64 413. I have seen the much smaller sender Dan may be referring toon a 64 225 slant six I had. Is that also correct for a big block idiot light?You guys may have solved this one!!!Thanks, Don
