If it is the little piece of metal which hangs from the bottom of the oil filter housing, than it is used to send out how much pressure your oil is at to your guage and it can be taken off and used with the 6-bolt bracket.

but there was no hole for it anywhere 1 sending unit on the 6 bolt and 2 on the 7 bolt , i just drilled and tapped a hole for it should work...


thanks
