I got the oil sender, it appeared to work when i drove the car, however it leaked oil out of the terminal end when i left it on the shelf? Interesting thoughts about the dash transplant, although I'm not too fond about the plastic woodgrain look. If anyone knows how to convert a 6cyl tacho to 4cyl, I'd like to know.
