Pembo Posted 17October, 2020 Report Share Posted 17October, 2020 While i'm waiting for the new strut inserts and steering column components I thought i'd give her another oil change, start replacing all the hard brake lines and pull out the oil level sender to have a look if the float is dead. It does some weird flipping on the gauge under accel. See photo for reason. I suppose this may be common, the old 'dropped the dipstick down the hole' trick. New oil sender gasket and the needle is nice and steady now. And thanks to Tom OldSkool for the Door pocket lids. They look good even though its the wrong interior for a '73 GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pembo Posted 17October, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 17October, 2020 It's probably been dangling on that float for four decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv Posted 8December, 2020 Report Share Posted 8December, 2020 Those rheostat based floats often give unreliable readings, even when new. They also bounce around causing transient signals. If you place a small capacitor (typically 0.1F) across their terminals (not in the tank, but up the chain) it smooths out the signal, stabilising the gauge.
