Default oil pressure sensor???

Does anyone know if you need to use the oil pressure sensor part number 12573107 in a 70 Chevelle swap? The wiring harness I purchased does not have a connector for it and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks for any help.

Replace it with the proper sensor for your gauge. It has nothing to do with the operation of the ecu. There are adapters from auto meter that go from the metric fitting to 1/8 npt. This is what used to change to the proper sending unit.

What is the pro? Does the computer need this input?

The ecu does not need oil pressure sensor info. It's only used for the original gauge. Use the sender for the gauge you have.

If you have a VVT/DOD motor and are retaining those functions the ECM will need the oil pressure sensor for proper operation.
