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) |

One thing to remember when using a remote hose, is that your sender still has to properly ground in order to get accurate readings. I used an metal clamp to hold my sender in place at the base of it. The clamp I used was one of the rubber coated Adel clamps without the rubber. Gets good ground now and the gauge reads accurately (well as accurately as any aftermarket VDO will).
