    Oil pressure sender 5 bar engine

    Good morning,

    any experience to handle a 76Ž2,7 engine with 71`US S gauges?

    Everything is working fine, except the oil pressure gauge.

    For sure it is a 5 bar oil pressure sender and a PSI gauge, which doesnŽt come with my daily business used unit Bar .

    Which sender should work best, so that the gauge shows the correct oil pressure in PSI.

    The sender and the gauge must match, if you have a 5 bar dash gauge you will need a 5 bar sender. The pressure range is marked on the sender.

    The gauges should stay for a US MY 72` look.

    So I ll have a 140 PSI (10 bar) gauge.

    As I see, there is no chance to work with resistors in parallel or serial.
    Not so familiar with later engines. If a Euro 10 bar sender works with US gauges and is easily mounted (without a adapter for threat diameter) in a 76 engine, everything will be fine.
    IŽll start change the sender after work.

    I think I have the sender you need (I took it off my 71 engine and replaced with '66 to fit my '66 gauges). Let me check my parts stash.
    '66 912 with a 2.2
    '62 Lotus Seven S2
    '66 Lotus Elan
    '63 Karmann Ghia convertible
    '76 Alfa Spider
