ok, im sure oldsman will know what im talking about here, but anyways. it suddenly just hit me that the whole point of having an oil pressure sending unit is to detect if you have low oil or your running normal. and since SES light or a low oil light or a change oil light, etc. wont light up if you unplug this or not i figured, since i have an electrical oil PSI gauge, then why not just hook up the aftermarket sending unit instead of the factory one, and not having to go through putting a T fitting and getting all those NPT brass fittings on that. cause i removed that sensor and just plugged in the aftermarket OIL pressure sending unit, and my car ran just fine at 50 psi of oil. so who hear thinks its safe to just leave the stock sending unit out and have the gauge take care of the rest. i mean if i need to check for low oil, just simply look at the dipstick right? also the car will be running lower than 50 psi if it has low oil right? i mean if worse comes to worse, why not just splice that wire from the stock sending unit, and plug it into the aftermarket oil PSI sending unit . you know? cause i figured that would be alot easier than hooking up all those brass fittings and taking up all that space.
