info on my oil pressure sender

[zyro]

i have a nitrous brand oil pressure gauge in my cluster, and it's connected through a wire that splits into two (ground/pos.) to the sender (sender is bad) which i cant find anywhere, all parts stores, i've been looking online also and nothing. here's a pic, can anyone let me know something about it. thank you.

Is it a mechanical gauge?

nope it's electric.

Sorry, I meant to ask if its an analog gauge. If it reads 0-100psi, I dont see why you cant use a 0-100psi sender from Autometer.

thats what i was looking into, so with the autometer senders, which look like every other one, with one terminal. would i just connect the pos. and leave the ground alone?

Its usually grounded thru the sender. I dont know why there are two terminals on your gauge. Have you tried to download the diagram/instructions of your gauge.

Look into remote mounting the oil pressure sender. Vibrations from the engine cause them to fail more often.

thats the gauge installation manual. i guess the ground on the sender just ground to car somwhere.
