I recently puchased a new oil pressure sending unit for my '84. When I start the car, the oil pressure guage pegs, then returns to zero and stays there. I bought the sending unit in hopes of fixing this, only to discover upon changin ing it that there is no wire attached to the sending unit. There isn't an unused wire dangling anywhere in the vicinity. Where is the wire, where does it come from?

Re.: Oil pressure sending unit
Look for a white/brown wire....gotta be there somewhere. As I recall, it's in a small loom from the forward part of the motor heading rearward.

Found it. It's been cut off about an 1 1/2 out from the loom just above the water pump. Thanks.
