for the oil pressure sender just get a deep socket. If you want I can check what size. I just did this like a week ago.

for the oil pressure thing, it can be a bitch but everyone here has has to face it. You'll want to assemble whatever fittings you have ON THE CAR. i.e. twist one on, then put the next fitting on that as opposed to trying to install a clusterfuck of brass bits onto the car all at once.

think its 3/4", but use a deep socket and it will work fine. It looks like you pulled the wire out of the connector on the sensor. you can probably repin it.

another turbo del slow... awesome

i just did the same fucin thing for like 2 hours yesterday, i just pushed up hard as hell on that bundle of shitwires and eventually got it to thread in with both my hands shoved up in there

also i put the line fitting and plug into the block fitting before i screwd it in. then screwd the line on. it sucked *****. took me longer then messin with my oil pan.

i hope it dont leak

If you did a lot of cutting and welding on a u-bend, you should be able to get a DP in there. Won't be easy but it should be possible. I doubt a 3in would fit though.
