Guys,
I am installing a complete set of Autometer gauges in the '66 and am just about ready to start the engine up, but yesterday I tried to remove the original factory oil pressure sender from the engine and had no luck. I think I would shear the sender apart before the threads break loose from the extension piece coming out of the block. I couldn't even budge the extension piece from the block either. Both have been on the engine for over 40 years so I'm leary of trying too hard and have something break causing me serious greif. So I ask, what can I do to use the factory sender with an Autometer gauge? There has got to be a way.
Thanks,
Mark
