Remove the factory plug (same thread as the oil pressure sender) and lengthen the electrical connections.

Can someone post a picture of the location of this plug?

All that I ask in return for using this idea is to refer to it as the "426 Hemi Mod".

Now that would be confusing, 426 HEMI Mod for Chevrolet LS1 engines.

When I do mine tomorrow can I qualify for a 426 Hemi badge on the fuel rail cover above the sensor relocate?

No........actually I'd like to see the emblems afixed to the front fenders. I'd really like that. Everyone's ok with this right?

Any questions just ask.

I have a question for you. Do you know what the size and type of the thread is on the C-5 sender that goes in the stock location? I might be able to get some adapters made on a CNC lathe.

I can change it in a matter of minutes.

Funny!

Now, how about a pic of the "plug" area with sender installed?? I looked all over my engine and can't find any spot for the sender. Please Please Please.

Oil pressure sender relocate

One more quick question: When reusing your old sender as the first

step in the relocate, what do you do about the metal clad gasket on

the old sender? Replace? Reuse?

Thanks again!
