southern auto parts are high quality also

no. that is something new. The oil sending unit is fixed. that was broke in the process, but a twenty year hose probably needed to be changed anyway. so I've got to fix those now. and hopefully be done. fingers crossed

I had 2 Oil pressure switches from autozone go out on me. The first time it went out I panicked and ruined my whole day to find out my oil pressure was fine.
I upgraded to a sending unit when I installed the cluster with gauges. I believe I picked it up at oreillys. its a soda can compared to the o.p. switch. If that picture is how everyones looks you would laugh if you saw the one on my engine.
