Oil level gauge and sender for /6 dry sump tank, Is there a conversion kit or description of how? Options

[ken914]

I want to convert the oil tank on my /6 to include a sender for an oil level gauge like on 911's. It would be much easier to keep a check on the oil level with a guage instead of trying to use the goofy dipstick.

Has anyone done this before? Is there a description of how to do it or maybe even a conversion kit?

Thanks for your help!

Chuck Stoddard from Ohio did one on his 914-6 project, and it was written up in Panorama magazine , available also in the UpFixin series.

It didn't have any more info other than he did it, but I assume it would be no different than that in a 911 oil tank. I do agree that the guage is rarely accurate unless your idling after a long stop on a perfectly level surface. Use the dip stick when you get out to gas up. I usually get out with the engine running, open the front trunk and engine lid, and then check the level before gassing up. It's the most accurate way.
