Oil pressure sensor problems
Oil pressure sensor problems Engine info: LS3 with PRC stage 2.5 LS6 heads, LS6 intake, Canton dry sump pan, stock car products 3 stage pump, and Peterson 400 filter. Car is built for mid range not peak power bragging rights.
I know the system has plenty of pressure because I forgot to torque the rear cover before putting it in the car. There was a waterfall of oil on the first start up.
1st set up that did not show oil pressure was a fitting on the front of the Peterson filter. I tried 2 sending units and 2 different gauges to no avail. The sending unit threads into the front of the filter:
2nd set up is the Auto Meter 2268 fitting for the stock location on the valley cover but the oil pressure sending unit is so freakin big that it hits the intake before it lines up. Anybody else had this problem? I guess I will have to buy another fitting to raise it up past the intake. It will look terrible and I am also wondering if it will have a air bubble that will keep from getting a good reading. Any ideas?

LS1MCSS, a 45* or straight extension is in my future.
