Oil Pressure Gauge? (1 Viewer)

[Splittilps]

So I have an autometer oil pressure gauge and I don't exactally know how to hook it up. I Don't know where the Sender hooks up to. If some one could explain to me where it goes that would be great.(A pic would be helpful) And just so you guys know i did search for sometime but had no luck. (I know I should have looked harder) Its going on a 1hd-t.

Cheers

Replace the stock sender. Look for a little metal can with a wire attached to the top that is threaded into the side of the block. Usually (I can't say for all) Toyota diesels have them near the oil filter. You might find that the Autometer fittings are not threaded for metric, Adapters and Bushings: Auto Meter -  Auto Meter Metric Mech. Temp. Gauge Adapter Bushings - egauges.com these guys have the metric adapters.

To be sure, disconnect the wire from the little can, and start up the engine and see if the stock gauge is working.

I need to get my oil pressure gauge working as well. I have a 24V BJ41. When I turn the key on the gauge moves to the right but when running the engine it is all the way to the left. I think this means the gauge is working but not the sending unit.

Is there a way to test the sending unit? What voltage range should the sending unit output?

Well this is what my Aug 1980 manual says:
