Oil pressure sending unit location (1 Viewer)

[sloanstavern]

Hey guys, my 1982FJ 45F2 came equipped with an oil cooler that was not connected to the coolant circuit.
There were no oil leaks however the coolant circuit was filled with debris and dirt. I thought it make more sense just to eliminated and go to a filter mount only. However I’ve now lost my port for the oil pressure sending unit. I don’t think I want to put the oil cooler back in service but that begs the question where to install the oil pressure sending unit? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

in addition the oil cooler had one large port with a spring installed but no visible bearing or stopper of any kind not sure what that was intended to do.

Maybe you could just replace the filter mount? This is an 83 2F on a FJ60.
I misplaced the sender during the de-smog and oil cooler removal so the plug is temporary until I can locate the brand-new sender, I bought a while back and misplaced as well. lol

FJ40 Aftermarket Oil Pressure gauge

I am in need of a mechanical oil pressure gauge and was curious what the I need to make it work. I'm not looking to go big and am curious what it takes to make it work. What do I need to make a typical parts store gauge work?...

Thanks, I do not have any existing "plugged" ports to the oil circuit on the block ( that I could find), and I would rather not drill and tap the block...my nerves cound not take it......

Was there a spool at the end of that spring? That spring and ‘spool’ are an oil pressure relief....without the spool the filter and cooler were permanent bypassed.

Nope, nothing there. It looked like I was the first one to open that thing up in a long time and was careful to look for any spare parts and nothing came out
