oil pressure sensor (new parts)
- Thread starter L05edSS
- Start date
that i don't know, the garage that installed the engine ordered all that stuff my guess would be napa cuz they seem to be the go to for all garages in town for the next day deliveries. also that's why i listed as new parts.
I worked at NAPA distribution center as a teenager one summer. Echlin/Balkamp stuff is just more expensive chinese junk imo. Never understood the "Napa Tax". Why so expensive?
Yep, that's why I added on the further. Echlin is now part of Standard and sourced though Taiwan and South Korea from what I read.
I worked NAPA earlier 80's while doing my ASE classes. Yep, can't compare then to now. Current quality is just not the same any more.

Might try aircraft quality parts. The sending unit might work with your existing gauge or you might need to buy their gauge. This one is 0-150PSI = 10 to 180 ohms.

ACDelco pressure sensors have been made in Taiwan, Mexico, Japan, etc., for over 25 years. Maybe they're discontinued now, but their quality seemed to be fine.
Typically, you see 2 types. One for 0-60 psi gages, one for 0-80 psi gages. Each are calibrated for those particular applications with different ohm ranges. However, think about it. A 20 psi range difference on your factory gage isn't going to make much of a difference in real life between the 2 calibrations. I believe all the G-bodies have 0-60 factory gages, and a few of the 4 cyl other platforms and trucks use 0-80 gages. Not 100% sure on that.
0-60 psi type, p/n 459417, superseded to 14036243
0-80 psi type, p/n 14040816. Lots of part numbers in this one's lineage.
Call me crazy, but I've never had one blow out on me.
Here's an OG style ACDelco 0-80 psi, 1/8-27 NPT. $58-ish plus tax. Buy once, cry once.
And another one 0-80, even older with a previous part number. $42 OBO plus tax.
