oh yah. I see it on my 8BA. I wondered what that was. It has a long 12 inch vertical tube with what I will term a "chrome bell" mounted at the top. There is an electrical wire attached to the top of the bell. I don't have a top mounted oil filter. Mine is on the bottom driver side of the block. Is it possible to replace this electrical sending unit with a mechanical unit. I will post pictures tomorrow if needed. Are there better mechanical units than others?

I will also post pictures of my dash gages. I stumbled across them on line and they are not cheap. If I remember correctly around 500 dollars. Of course, this does not indicate quality, only selling price. I would like input on barners real world experience with the product.

Thanks
