Re: Standard to LE (add tach) and LE to standard cluster swaps
Just picked up an 87 4x4 auto LE cluster to go in to my 88 manual 4x4, forgot to grab the proper oil pressure sender off the LE motor and i am having trouble sourcing a new one. anybody have a part number or location where they bought a decent one? found one listed at napa for like $60 seems a lot for a small amenity
thanks

If it's just the oil pressure sending unit, they can be had for less than 10 bucks. The AT/ Manual ones are the same I thought...
Amazon:

Screws into the same boss near the dizzy on passenger side of engine.

I need the one that's for the oil pressure gauge on an LE, I thought they look a bit different, larger and more round. the one on the LE van was much bigger diameter and so was the one on my truck when i switched to the sr5 gauges and had to swap from the dummy light sensor to one that actually read pressure. the picture is just an example of what my truck had with the dummy light and what i switched to to run the factory sr5 oil pressure gauge. Guess what i'm asking is are you sure that the one on amazon you sent the link for works for the LE oil pressure gauge?It says in the description its for automatic trannies. And you're right i'm not sure why there would be any difference in this part auto to manual. thanks for the reply Flecker

Im also seeing sending units both being listed as working for the van that have two terminals and one, was under the impression it only had one?

Re: Standard to LE (add tach) and LE to standard cluster swaps
You indeed need the larger unit, a sending unit, not a switch.
That link took me to PS-160 which is not the correct part for a gauge, though it would work fine for idiot light models.
It is a single pin unit and you will need to run a new wire from the new sender to the new pack
And yes, pressure sensors are significantly more expensive than pressure switches.

finally getting around to this swap, i have 87 4x4 manual cargo(no tach), swapping in 1987 4x4 manual not sure if it was LE or DLX...
i do not have IIA as others have noted on my tach cluster, but do have an IG- which does seem to go to the back of the tach. i guess i will try to take the wire from the distributor test port? to this but i dont want to fry the tach if this is wrong..theres also an orange single wire connector on back of tach cluster that im unsure of...could this be tach connection?
looking at the fsm, it seems the tach gets signal from ignitor?
ok, orange wire must be the different light style of oil level, it had a yellow/black wire going to it..this will get the 'oil w' connection as i think im going to T the sender outlet to include the idiot light as well as guage

well ok, that wasnt too bad and im stoked to have a tach!! so i T'd the pressure gauge sender and idiot light and plugged the old idiot light connection into the orange wire single connector to the oil level light so its still doing double duty as oil level and low pressure...
yes, IG- is the same as IIA
could probably tap into the ignitor for tach signal but i guess just as easy at the dizzy test port seeing as you have to run the wire for the oil pressure sender in the same area
there was a total of 10 swapped wires and a few other connections/splices
my notes..maybe could help someone...
