Glad your problem has been resolved and THANKS for coming back and reporting the resolution.

As Randy said, Thanks for the feedback.

Did you go with an aftermarket sender? If so & if different than the one in the xref, would you let us know the number and any specifics or if mods were needed.

Went to NAPA and looked at the ECH OP6741, but the threaded tang for sender wire was not like mine; cross reference in NAPA book got me an OP 6613. I put it in, hooked it up, and took a 50 mile drive today--no problems. Thanks again for the help. Now, onto Kanter's to order a front u-joint, after I've measured my driveshaft to make sure I have the JR one.

Thanks for the info. If Napa's pictures are correct, looks like someone had changed your sender before. Probably put too high a range in and is the reason why the light was on so much of the time. The 6613 is the very low 2-6psi sender with tab terminals like RockAuto mentions. As was mentioned earlier, that value seems a bit on the low side but as long as it works.

Not sure of the pressure range on the original sender but it had a ring terminal on the wire and would have used a sender with stud like the 6741.
