you must use the sender designed for the pressure gauge as they all differ in resistance. if you mix and match senders with gauges, you'll get in-acurate readings

plus, electrical oil pressure gauges are crap, must better with a mechanical one.

I contacted the manufacturer of my gauge and they sent me a new sender for free!
