Reply to "Is this an oil gauge sender"

As Ron says, this is the only oil sender position available for a 351-W. The 351-C has two available- one as shown above the fuel pump and one at the back of the block. The only known negative to using the fuel pump mount on a Cleveland is, its oil pressure reading will be quite a bit higher than all 351-Cs that use the rear mount so readings will not compare.

On a 351-C, the fuel pump sender mount gets oil directly from the pump while the rear sender mount gets oil after the 16 lifters & all the bearings have taken a sip. I've seen as much as 30 psi gauge difference on the same engine, which sometimes leads to confusion.
