It's a pressure transducer that converts pressure into resistance...

There's no rule that says you can't screw the sender into a female thread Milton air hose disconnect fitting and attach it to your compressor hose, with the air hose regulator dialed down to between 30 & 60PSI or so, and observe what the
ohmage does.
Well I tested it with a rigged up rubber hose and a bicycle pump and the digits drecreased with each squirt of the pump, so I recon the sending unit is in working order. I than connected my old electronic oil pressure gauge to the old sending unit and no reading, the needle did not move with the truck running.

How can this be? How can the truck run super awesome and me have no oil pressure, yet I see oil dripping down the valve springs when I remove the rocker covers?
