I'm looking at the best way to install the oil pressure sending unit (keeping the distruibutor in place) and when I see the high pressure line installation (greaser or paint gun) I wonder what happens to the air that is trapped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Do people usually purge the line by unscrewing the sender a bit? Does the air eventually escape (how and why)? Couldn't this cause a momentary oil starvation? Where else (or how) do you install the sender without having a dead end air trap situation? Thank you for your input (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I used a grease gun hose it worked for a while but got clogged. Just last weekend I installed a 5" strait piece of pipe comes just above the distributor attached the sender it works well. The pipe has a much better oil flow. Male/female brass connector to engine,5" pipe,female/female connector,sensor.I am at work I will try to send picture later
