I had to order the sending unit. I got the socket at sears. I think it was a 1 1/16 socket.. You can run the car if you need to order the unit..

Oh and BTW - 00transamnh

It's not your job to keep this forum fresh and clean instead of getting clogged with the same stuff over and over is it? So YOU can "stop bitching" about me "bitching" about the search button. If you've seen as many, and replied to as many, oil pressure sending unit threads as I have, you'd want people to search too. It saves them, and everyone else, time in so many ways.

When you become a mod, or at least read a thing or two, you might understand.

I bought one from Scoggin-Dickey (sponsor~~~>) for 25 bucks. I wanted it like now so I asked for overnight. That was going to be upwards of 30 bucks so I got the next cheapest: 2nd day air. I ordered it around noon on Tuesday. It left Texas by 5pm, was in Memphis, Tn by 11pm. Left there by 2am and was in Birmingham, Alabama by 7am. It was on my doorstep at 10:40am Wednesday morning. It was only 11 bucks. Talk about service! The folks at SDPC were great.
