oil psi sending unit

[madeintheshade05]

so i put my lts on and now i have a problem. my oil psi sending unit does not have room to screw into the block and be plugged in. the car is a 94. on my 95 i didnt run into this problem. any ideas?

The 94's are on the oil filter housing correct? My 95 is up at the top behind the intake, you may have to move it there.

Just get a 90* bend to screw into the block, thats what I did with my 93

ok im gonna try to find a 90 degree bend. thanks

[madeintheshade05]

90 degree bend didnt work. it says i have 15psi while driving and 0 at idle. im pretty sure its not reading right cause there still isnt any strange noises.

ok. finally someone with a 94. what is your oil pressure at on your old sender unit? what should it be at? i've always thought my car had low pressure but i have done everything and never gotten it to be more accurate?i hope you find out how to fix your situation. subscribed! haha

I dont know what years have it lower on the block VS up behind the intake but you should get some brass fittings and make it fit 100% before ruling out that its the sensor, however if it is low and you dont have leaks its probably your sensor. :lol:

Seems to be completely random. I've had two 93's at the same time, one which had it above the filter and the other which was located at the top of the block. If you can relocate it to the top of the block behind the manifold, that's probably the safest place for it. And when it goes out then you get to feel like an LS1 guy when you have to change it. :D
