4g63 oil pressure sender clip

[shellhouse]

Has anyone successfully replaced the MD137539 cable, and specifically the oil pressure sender clip piece? If I'm remembering right, it's a white rectangular clip that slides onto the nipple of the sender. According to a search, the part is discontinued and NLA (although it still shows on some sites, JNZ says NLA since 2015).

The cable is missing on one of my cars. The connector reminds me of another type of electrical connector, although I can't recall what.

No not a replacement for it look for a part out or in classifieds.

Below are pics of the original oil pressure sender connector and wiring. [The MD137539 cable still shows available here https://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oem-parts/mitsubishi-harness-eng-oil-pressur-md137539.] Or you can probably just use the connector here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-1971-...Sending-Unit-Connector-Set-2965-/271966606852.

Thanks, I rolled the dice on the ebay connector and will report back on whether it works.

I just put a female spade terminal on mine and made sure it was pinched down tight. Still on and has never came off. Just another way to get the job done.

^ I agree, a female spade connector like in post 20 here works good (I used this and slotted the insulator to keep it from rusting/corroding, also recommend the tie wrap in post 3 above to keep it from sliding/wiggling off): https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/oil-pressure-sending-clip.616416/#post-7905685.

Did it work?

Edit: sorry, didn't notice until now the OP is missing this wire.

I recently re-did this connector. My wire was broken but the connector was still decent. So I de-pinned it on both sides, did the best I could to uncrimp (actually used a Dremel cutoff wheel to "cut" the crimp/old wire out, leaving as much material as possible) then soldered a new piece of wire to the terminal. Did this to both sides. Some heat shrink tubing along with the old loom and it turned out pretty good:
