Is there a better way to test the sender? It’s just strange cause I bought two different senders from two different companies but they both didn’t move the needle at all

It’s the gauge in the dash not a light. I’m wondering if the voltage is off?

I made sure no tape was on the sender. It still didn’t work.

What kinda oil pressure does it have?

Lol, I've seen newbs at the dealer really hose it, puddles & drippin' everywhere,....lolol!! It DOES have a preservative effect on stuff like bare aluminum, plastics, etc. that lasts a little while,.....so it's not total BS. It does present much better & helps it stay that way for a while, as...

We don't want to leave impurities on the surface, they may damage the finish, so we'll drive them off & out with high pressure water...probably lucky the Dr. quarter didn't come off, looks like it was fixed with bubble-wrap, Oh Boy................

I think that's skatin misrepresentation. I never have liked it.

I think it's detailing spray, just about every used car on a lot anywhere gets that today, just part of the process.

Yeah, THAT ^^^^^

Do you not have a compression tester? You can use the hose to connect to shop air.

Let the kid at the gas station rotate the tires.

Did you use thread tape insulating the sender?

I have Monroe heavy duty hydraulic (non gas charged) shocks on Vixen and they ride fine for what I do.

If it's been runnin 4 years, it's fine.

Even new ones can be iffy. The fluctuating voltage is perfectly normal. The problem has to be with the sender if grounding the wire gets the gauge up. Are you sure that the sender itself is grounding as it should?

That’s what I was saying until it was 41 degrees and I was pressed for time early in the morning but couldn’t get the damn thing to idle. Holley VS with electric choke was a good deal. Makes life easier. Start and 10 seconds later pull away like it has efi.

What sensor are you using? i ran into the same issue with mine and the sensor ( sending unit ) would not work with my factory gauge i ended up installing a aftermarket bosch sensor and gauge. it works fine now. If your gauge moves with the wiring grounded it has to be in the sender. try and find...

Dude, wtf does that have to do with comparing a Poly head to an LA head? And if You're a Mopar Guy with all of these tech answers, how do You not know or have a reference at Your fingertips what the installed ht. Polys have...??? Gary Pavlovich & crew have probably done as well as will be done...

Dang this sucks! sorry to hear this happened to you. Ive been nervous about my 360 since the break in so far its going on 4 years and still running fine. This thread makes me want to pop off my valve covers and check for rotation again!

Frankly, if You've got full OE style quarters, You should put them on. Do a nice job of drilling out & separating the spot welds, & sell the nice full '69 quarters to somebody who needs them, I'm sure there'll be takers.

I have had trouble finding good heat temp sending units, even the brand new ones are bad at times. I usually test the sending units with a test light clamp on battery + positive and poke the send unit terminal. The test light should glow if working correctly. The more the engine warms up the...

I’m with you—I halfway figured I could swap to nicer shocks in a couple years, just knowing that was the item I skimped on.

Still using stock strut rods?

mannn... i'm on double secret probation from buying things and stuffs so i'm not even supposed to be looking at cars... PM incoming...

QA1 standard shocks

Indeed! I did the poly graphite bushings. No squeaks, nice and tight feel. On the wife’s ‘67 Cúda, I went with standard QA1 on all 4 corners. We like it. Bushings are rubber. Once there shot, I’ll do poly graphite. Simple but upgraded. Nothing fancy, just better.

I'd rather have good shocks with rubber and stock strut rods than cheap shocks on poly bushes. I had cheap Napa shocks on my car when I bought it and swapping them for a set of Viking double adjustables was a night and day difference.

Thanks. He does the videos from his Driod phone. I do have the W2 porting templates. He did the work first. We talked about it and it basically went like this. Charlie (C) You have a set of W2’s? I’ve never seen a set up close. Are you porting them? Who’s doing the work? I’d love to take a...

After typing it all out, I like the KISS option.

Keeping with your hotrodder’s guide to bliss hotrodding… KISS. Thanks for the input Rusty.
