help with oil pressure sender wire?

[cles64]

My 64 has the factory gauge option but Im having trouble finding what kind of connector attaches the single wire to the sender? If someone could send a pic of this I would appreciate it.

Does it have the Oil Pressure Gauge or the Idiot Light?

gauge.

The oil pressure gauge is mechanical. Did you mean water temp?? If so, you can use a female spade connector and slide it on the sender from the side. I prefer using the plastic covered connectors and cutting out the plastic on one side. Works great and the connectors are readily available.

Yes I meant water temp sender.. this has been a long week! anyway thanks for the advice I will try the spade connector idea. Does anyone know how the original was atached did it press on or clip??

I havent seen a 60's type, but the 70's style was about a 1/2'' long white plastic piece with a metal insert. Kinda rectangular. It slid on from the side as I described earlier. It had a slot down the side where the brass/copper(?) insert made contact with the sender.

The 60's models are the same but have a black conector that just slips over the blade on the water temp sender. Inside is a female spade conecter inside the black connector.
