  • oil pressure sending unit

    well i plan to get my beretta done tomorrow but i have one problem. my 3 wire oil pressure sending unit for a 2.8 doesnt fit and i dont have an oil pressure reading with the stock 3400 sensor.... how do i make this work? i will not start it without a gauge, unlike my other 3400s

    What doesn't fit? The threads? If so get a pipe thread bushing to make it fit.

      the make different sizes. I know I had to get a different one with my 3100 swap in my Cutlass Supreme. I think I ended up getting one from a GRAND AM for like 1995.

          Just go to the store and get a OPSU from a 1995 Z26. It will be long (variable) style. And will fit.

              OBD1.5 IS OBD1. It's just on a flash based ECM.

              Besides, the computer doesn't read the OPSU.. It goes straight to the gauge cluster.

              EDIT, I take that back, I think the ECM does read it, for the low oil pressure light. But yeah it will work.

                  hmm well now i feel like an idiot lol. turns out i have a 1 wire OPSU according to my harness (unless there was a hidden plug with the same connection i didnt see this time lol), i swear it was 3!!! so now i have the 95 beretta 3 wire OPSU.... will i get a reading? im gonna guess no... but when i got it they just asked me if i had a gauge or a light and thats the one i got...

                    a OPSU for a 1991 Cavalier Z24 works great. As long as you have the gauge you'll want the 3 wire..

                    2.8's had a smaller thread, that's the only difference.
