Yes I did a search (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
First: 2.0 Type 4 engine... With a Mallory Distributor. I've done some research for the sending Unit for my VDO Oil Pressure Gauge 0-5 bar. The threat in the engine case is M10x1 Tapered. VDO offers a 0-5 bar Sending Unit with the right threat (even tapered) and two connecters: one gauge and one idiot light. VDO Part# 252.21.67 My question now is, does anybody have experiance of mounting it directly on the case? Especially in the car with the sheet meatall installed? Als does that work with the clearance to the Mallory Distributor? Thanks C |

I also had to use teflon plumbers tape on the threads to get them to seal. I've seen some here say you don't need to do that, but I did. As mark said, this means you do have to use a grounding wire from the body of the sender to the engine somewhere. I just ran it to the common grounds, but it could be anywhere really.
