I have an NOS AC Delco oil pressure sender available. It is correct for a late 60's and early 70's Cutlass/442. It is barrel-shaped with notches. I am asking $200 for it.

 

What part # is it?

 

Can't you buy those at the auto parts store for less than $20?

 

Does the engine come with it for that price? I think you may be just a little on the high side on your price. Good luck.

 

The part is sold. For those of you who thought the price was too high, think again!

Sure, the aftermarket senders are always cheaper. This is for people who want all original parts on their cars. I have seen this type of sender sell for over $300 on eBay.

 

I understand myself. Did you have any luck locating the coil I sent you the # on? Thanks

 

The thing is, the oil pressure sender you buy at the auto parts store is the EXACT same thing as a NOS oil pressure sender. They are the same part number.

 

No they are not. They are cosmetically different even with the same part #. This sending unit he was selling was for a concours restoration where correct is the only way to go.

 

No, they're not. The original sender is barrel-shaped. The aftermarket senders are dome-shaped.

 

Thank you 66-3X2 442. I'm glad someone else understands.

 

Glad you could help someone out.
I will never understand the factory restoration thing. I have tried, but can never make any sense of it. There must be some kind of hidden fun in it that I'm missing. Like an excited kid on a scavenger hunt or something.

Welcome aboard.

 

I understand your feelings too and to each his own. Nut and bolt restorations are a sickness and I'm very sick. I don't care how a guy does his car,I appreciate them all.HAPPY OLDSMOBILE'ing.

 

I'm curious about the diffences in the appearance of the sender. Do you by any chance have any pictures of it that show how it is different from aftermarket? I'm not a concourse guy, but would like to see what a concourse part of this type looks like. I'd like to compare it to the one that I'm planning to use on my car. Most of the GM parts books will list the sender, but doesn't have a really good description or picture of the part. This request is only being sent as a request for information. Thanks.

 

If this is true then you should be buying them all up. You could make some serious $$.
