Troubleshooting the oil temp gauge on my 74 D-jet revealed that the sending unit is shot. I would prefer to just replace the sender and use my stock gauge (no numbers, red indicates hot oil on gauge). Part # on the sending unit read "801/7/2.0" Research on this site suggests that they are NLA. Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the stock sender?

Thanks.

I think the dummy light son the combo gage is just for pressure. I wonder if the dual senders can be used for dummy light and an analog gage?

This one won't work properly with the stock gauge.

Put an ad up in the parts section for WTB. Somebody on here will have a used oil temp sender for you that works with stock gauge.

When you replace the sender, you will likely want to replace the rubber o-ring seal on the taco plate, the paper gasket and new copper crush washers. Oh, and don't over-tighten the taco plate!!!
