Getty dash in my 74....has a 911 SC oil pressure gauge. I need a sender for the idiot light and pressure......I've done this in the past but for the life of me, I can't find any reference to the right VDO combo sensor on the web.
Anyone got any old reference books or a memory that isn't like mine? Everything online references STOCK applications.... Glenn at Pelican came up dry...so I'm not a complete idiot. |

I just pulled the sender off of my T1 and it's the 30/2, 0-80PSI gauge.
It's hooked up backwards from the recommended wiring diagram. It works....but it's hooked to a VDO What would you recommend for an 911 SC gauge? BTW, here's the VDO gauge I have in BAD TUB. (IMG:http://www.egauges.com/images/vdo/310-709.jpg) |

QUOTE(! @ Jul 5 2008, 08:21 PM)  That's a pressure and idiot light sender, which is what I'm looking for. Does it have a VDO serial number? Temperture has to be supplied by a dipstick sender as the taco plate is NLA. Jake has a ton of taco plates for sale too....$30 IIRC |

We do alot of modern internals upgrades for 911s, mostly for v8s.
If you want to run a single sender, you will need to put a new VDO gauge in there, with the appropriate sender. We take a new (or your old) vdo gauge and put it in the can. It is usually $85 with us providing the new guts, $65 with yours. We can supply the sender as well. That includes a new vinyl overlay for the nomenclature, we can get it screened as well. The only down side is that the oil pressure will read down instead of up. Mark (IMG:http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/43359/2647275010057582025S600x600Q85.jpg) |

Hmmm, I'll let the buyer know his alternatives. Thank you for your help.
Do you need any cores? I have like five or six speedos, tachs, and other miscellaneous vdo gauges just sitting. |

QUOTE(computers4kids @ Jul 5 2008, 06:32 PM) Here's what the 911SC guy from the bird board sold me with his NOS gauge for my Ghetty dash. Won't swear it's correct...just going off his advice. OOOH! I have a question! The two contacts on the back of that sender are marked 'G' and 'WK'. Which one runs the idiot light, and which one goes to the gauge? I have one almost identical to that on my VW to add some Audi gauges, but I don't know which is which... Glad I bumped into this thread... |

I think the G is for gauge.

You'll know right away...the gauge either works or it doesn't....if it doesn't (I'm NEVER surprised as my toast ALWAYS lands peanut butter side down) just swap the wires.
It's just a switch and won't fry if hooked up wrong. I have two of them and they are hooked up opposite of each other, I'm convinced they did it to just piss me off. |
