Which Oil Pressure Sending Unit?

Hey, everyone.
I made sure to search the forums before I started this thread and unless I flat missed it (which is possible), I could not find what I was looking for.

Re: 1986 Z28 to Original Glory

I can’t put my finger on why, but I love the stock look, too. I appreciate these cars being lowered, but that’s not for me personally. And trust me, I won’t change a thing, lol

Re: what will your next 3rd Gen be?

Considering I sneaked the third gen into the garage without consulting the CFO, I think I'm out of the "next third gen" game. I'll just live vicariously through you guys. :driving:
