1973 Porsche 914 2.0L. I’m removing my Oil Temp Gauge and installing a Oil Pressure Gauge. I installed a 100 psi VDO Oil Pressure Gauge. Do to the size of the new Sender Unit that fits a 100 psi VDO Gauge you cannot just insert it in the same location in the Taco Plate! I was able to drill a 7/16 hole in the same plate and install the new sender unit. I left the original sender unit where it was at and just removed the plug and placed it on the new 100 psi Oil Pressure Sending Unit. On the other end I just plugged the original harness back in the same 3 prong plug in on the back off the new VDO Oil pressure gauge. Sending unit wire to G and the + to fuse box etc. No reading on gauge! What’s wrong. The new sending unit is extended about 1/2” inside. Any suggestions. Thanks

I think that's the one - if you're looking at the gauge, i'd send a note to AutoAtlanta/George since that's their gauge and one of their Ebay outlets. btw - that is a single pole - no idiot light connection. My plan is to use that sender to that gauge and the OEM sender to the idiot light via the Draft 42 kit. EDIT: yes - i'm going with that answer. 0-80 range as is the gauge. here's the version with the dual pole which will also trigger your idiot light but it will be at a higher pressure and may cause you to freak out which is why i'm planning on using the OEM sender. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vdo-3600...4RoCyhIQAvD_BwE |
