Looking for suggestions for a oil pressure sender (not a switch) for a MEP-831A.
1/8 NPT, reasonably priced, with either a nut/bolt terminal or spade connection.
Resistance of sender not critical.

I would go with the same one thats on the MEP-802a, Mep803a. They are available through a few suppliers. Search "DATCON OIL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER PART NUMBER 02504" The one listed on eBay looks like a good deal. Hope this helps.

Part numbers for the oil pressure sending unit.Part number: 02504NSN: 6620-01-128-3053SMR Code: 16476

I had found a low cost alternative for the 831 sending unit. It was from the same company as the OEM. I don't remember the part number off hand. A search may show it as I listed it here as a couple other people needed them.

I found the thread. It was about the Low Oil Pressure SWITCH.
I'm looking to add a Oil Pressure SENDER to read the actual oil pressure.

I like the idea of using the same P/N as the 802/803 for simplicity, as long as parts availability is there. Im questioning the complexity of the mounting of that big thing though and if through a hose like the 802/3 the costs would be higher.

Best of both worlds would be to find a small lightweight sender that has the same sweep/values as the 802/3 so there are options.

Just ramblings here though.

I just put a mechanical gauge on one of my 831's. Unfortunately the 802/803 sender won't work. aua
Oil Pressure at startup is ~125 PSI and Oil Pressure when warmed up is 80 PSI.
Looks like I have 2 spares senders coming for my 802..
Have a 150PSI sender on it's way to try this weekend.
