WAS UP GUYS.I HAVE A 94 FIREBIRD FORMULA V8 .IM TRYING TO RUN A MECHINCAL OIL PSI GAUGE.I HAVE A A4.SO I WAS LOOKING FOR THE OIL SENDING UNIT AND WHERE I COULD HOOK UP THE TUBE THAT RUNS TO THE ENGINE AND BACK TO THE GUAGE.ALSO WHERE TO PUT THE + WIRE FOR THE OIL PSI GUAGE.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

 

1993s and some 1994 have it located right above the oil filter. While some 1994 and all 1995 and up are located on the back of the intake.


thank you have a nice day

 

First, kill the CAPS, please.

A 1994 sending unit should be here. As previously stated, 1993 had them just above the oil filter on the side of the block. You can easily remove the plug there and use that for your other gauge. Lots easier than messing around at the back of the intake.

 

thanks for all the info.but i need to know one thing.when i get under my 94 firebird v8.after i put it up on ramps.when i unscrew the screw.will i have to drain the oil first or will only a lil oil come out and it will be aight.will it harm the engine by not draining the oil first then unscrewing the screw.thanks

 

There will probably be a little oil come out, but since it won't be under pressure with the engine off, it should stop quickly. Most of the oil will have drained back into the pan. It won't hurt anything.

 

Shoebox,

Is it possible to relocate the oil pressure unit from the back of the intake to the older sytle '93 location and then extend the wires? I get tired of breaking the sending unit when I switch trannies.

Sure. All you have to do is plug the old location.

 

Thanks
