I prefer the look of the top one personally. The bottom one is a bit 'playstation' IMHO.

Is there one available from a late 80's early 90's alfa if they had them (75???) that might match the look and/or brand of what's in the 33?

John

I will use what I have, thanks Smile

next questions Smile

Where do I put the sender?
1. in an oil sandwich plate?
2. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sump-Plug-Sensor-Adaptor-Oil-Temperature-Gauge-Sender-/370668179443?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item564d8b8ff3
3. http://koni-centre.com.ua/pro-sport/images/pribory/T-4_450.jpg
I have an oil pressure gauge in the top back of the engine and will eventually fit an oil cooler, not got the sandwich plate yet.

There is a blanking plug next to the oil filter, i removed that & fitted a temp sensor. The oil pressure gets it's reading from the sensor in the middle of the block, i removed the original sensor from the top of the block & replaced it with a bigger type sensor that had an extra screw hole in it, so it kind of converts 1 threaded hole into 2, works a treat. Very Happy
