Help Oil pressure sending unit

I'm starting to feel dumb...I seemed to have misplaced where I have the oil pressure sending unit wire.

I put all my wires in some black conduit that is split in the middle (for easy install) for organizational purposes (especially seeing how I added some wiring) and I think I may have accidentally added the wire in it.

What would the wire look like? It looks like it should have some sort of clip at the end.

A wire is long , & skinny. And the clip should be a 90 degreee hard black plastic thingy, to push down on the stud.

Some have a female spade connector to push from the side onto the t-shaped stud on the sending unit

you COULD take out that sending unit and put a mechanical one in. in my '72rr, i don't trust ANY electrical guage except for my tach. hell, my fuel guage doesn't work anymore...

i think the color may be brown?? all the wires on the firewall of mine and my brothers satellite are brown....whats with brown wires?? all over in the front at the headlights too!

good luck man.

Why not just run a new wire? and save the hunt?

Default Thanks!

Thanks a lot to all of you!!

I found it. I did accidentally wrap it up with my other wiring when I put it in the conduit.

Thanks to your descriptions and pics I found the wire thingy.

So close, so close...perhaps the beast will see life this weekend.
