What sending unit do you need when changing from an idiot light instrument panel to a panel with gauges?

You will have to change the coolant temperature sender that's directly by the firewall.
There are two coolant temp senders - the other one, by the water pump, controls the electric fan.
You will also have to change the oil pressure sending unit.
I'd highly recommend getting brand-new sending units - they are relatively inexpensive and have a warranty.

How do you convert 70 Chevelle SS from idiot lights to ss gauges?
The SS had a different dash, with gauges, not idiot lights. I would contact Year 1, online, as they make reproduction parts, and will have everything you will need, from the dash, to the wiring harness you will need to change, to all the new sending units, you will need. The SS, was unique that year.
What does an oil sending sensor do?
They "sense" the oil pressure inside the engine. If you have an instrument panel oil pressure gauge the sending unit sends an analog signal to the gauge. If you have an oil pressure "idiot light", the sending unit turns the light on when the oil pressure is low.

What causes Chevy S-10 gauges to be erratic?
Don't feel like your the only one. This is a VERY common thing. Its a lot to explain but I can sum it up for you. The gauges are basically idiot lights. The speed, volts and fuel are the only ones that really matter. I know it might not be what you want to hear but take it from me and my buddies, that have gone as far as changing the pcm. It all controlled by the computer, and the SES light.
Is a 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L Instrument cluster interchangeable with a 1989?
Yes. However, if you are changing from idiot lights to needles, or visa versa, the oil pressure and water-temp sensors must also be changed to work properly.
Was the 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS avaible with a column gear shift?
I'm not sure about that but if your looking to make sure you have a real ss look at the gauges as the ss had all the gauges in the dash such as oil, amps, water temp where the regular monte's didn't have the special gauges, they had idiot lights.

What are the proper gauges for a 1964 GTO?
There are 3 pods. The left pod has the gas guage and idiot lights. The centre pod is the speedo. The right pod is the tach. There were no full guages for oil and water temp in 1964 - only idiot lights
Why would the speedometer tach temp and idiot lights quit on a 1994 hardbody?
Try changing the headlight switch.
You checked the wire to the sending unit and its not grounded out you replaced the sending unit and it still goes past 60 psi when you turn on the key what else would be causeing it please help.?
The sending unit you have may be the type used for an "idiot light" only and your system has a gauge. Try replacing the sending unit with a gauge type.
