There shouldn't have been any resistance from the get go - it's more likely that the first turn damaged the threads.
Is there a washer on the sender? If the old one had a washer, and you didn't move it to the new sender, then it's possible that you ran the new sender in too deep. Doesn't sound very encouraging, as you now know, it's difficult enough to get the sender in and out, so cleaning up those threads won't be fun. bs ________________________________ From: Alan Lambert <[email protected]> To: alfa <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, July 1, 2010 6:02:23 PM Subject: [alfa] Re:Oil pressure sender problem First, thanks to members of the digest, I successfully removed the old sender. It required quite a bit of force to unscrew---much more than a small screw insert should have taken. Second, I screwed in the new sender-----except I didn't-----with a small bit of force (hand turned) it went in---and turned and turned and turned, showing resistance every few turns. Since it's just about impossible to get a good view of the threads in the block, I can't tell, but I suspect the last insertion may have damaged the threads.

Here's the rub. I have about a dozen books on the history of Alfa Romeo. It's about split 50/50 that TZ either means "Tubolare Zagato" or "Turismo (Touring) Zagato". The TZ3, having no tubes, sorta slants that answer toward Turismo, methinks.
