proper sender for r-sport rally dash 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Ted on  Mon Nov 1 09:23 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi,
I just picked up a r-sport instrument cluster for my '74 140 and have been searching the archives trying to figure out the proper oil pressure sender to install.
Based on what was previously posted I am pretty sure that I will need a 1/8 NPT thread 10 bar sender. I am not sure if I need to specifiy the psi ( My old one for a different gauge was 150 psi.). Does any one know what the correct sender and VDO part number would be? (The numbers on the gauge in the cluster read from 0 to 10 and are yellow. ) I am aso not sure what the proper reading should be once everything is installed and the car is running at idle, moving etc.
The cluster looks really nice and seems to be in good shape by the way. Any other install tips are also greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, the AMP and Brake Warning plastic lenses need to be moved over a bit and may eventually need to be replaced. Has anyone tried using lenses from other Volvo dashes?
Thanks!
