hi ya'll
working on my 75, 2.0 5spd and i'm having a issue with the taco plate.
the car had a plug in the plate where the sensor goes so i want to put a sensor in. got a new sensor, gasket, and o ring from auto atlanta,(thanks george and albert) and when i put the sensor on the plate, i discovered that it wont fit in the space where it should go into the sump. i've enclosed a few pics of the parts i.m dealing with and also a shot of where the sensor is hitting the inside of the sump. i know it should go in pointing in the direction of the crank but, it won't fit in either direction.
so whats wrong? can i cut the sensor to make it fit or space it so there is more clearence? none of those sound right but maybe thats it?
anyway, any help would be great.
thanks
