Oil Pressure Sensor Hook-Up???

Ok, after asking around, ryan told me I might have installed one of the "idiot light" oil pressure sensors, thus PEGGING the oil pressure gage past 100. What year/model ford, with a SB302 came with the one that'll hook up to the stock B&B Faria gauges?

thanks

You should have got the oil sender with your gauges. I did. If not call B+B and I think they are about $25. Jim

I was missing my sender when I received my guages. I was told by Daryl at the time that they were backordered. Check before you pay for one.

You outta put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on there anyway, and plumb it with -3 (or -4) braided stainless hose, teflon lined, with full radius hose ends. Electric gauges cannot be trusted, especially for something as important as oil pressure.

Would you have the same problem with water temperature? I don't think it's sending the right reading to my gauges. If it is, then there is a problem somewhere else, and I"m running REALLY REALLY REALLY HOT.
