Title: Oil pressure and temp sender:
Post by: Stewart G Griffin on August 15, 2015, 09:33:10 am

For the stock oil pressure and temp sensors----both near the distributor and oil filter, do they need any type of thread sealant?

Now for the 2 pronged oil pressure sender for the choke, does it matter which way you plug the leads in?

no it is just making a connection for 12V to reach the choke

That's what i figured;  The 4.3 only has one 2 pronged sender near the distributor while the truck originally had 2 senders--one near distributor, one above oil filter.
