The 2.7L six I have (in process of installing in my 914) has an oil pressure OR temp sender at the back part of the engine (flywheel end) and is missing the one on the front (fan end). I don't know which is for Pressure and which is for temp - can someone clear it up for me? Also, which sender (and guage) should I use for the back? Oh, I actually have an oil pressure guage already..do I need a certain sending unit for it?

The red one near the flywheel end (right beside the thermostat) is the pressure switch for the light. Take note that the red switch has a different thread (and a washer) than the black or white ones found on 2.0-2.4 motors, and is NOT a direct swap. The one near the fan housing is the temp sender. Use a temp sender that is matched to your gauge. The 914 one will fit if you have the stock gauge. If you want a pressure sender for a gauge, the 2.7 has it in between the case and the right cam oil line, screwed into a steel block. A matching gauge is required, and there are more than one sender/gauge sets. The Cap'n
