Yes it is an oil level sender, standard fit on later (91 on) Carltons.Is that an oil level sensor? Dont remind me about the cost.....please? That particular sump is now on Ians redtop Sprint after he ripped his sump plug out from having the suspension too low, along with the other bits I mentioned, I can't remember what I charged him but it was less than £50 the lot! I don't currently have a spare one (Ian had my last) but you can get an combined electric oil pressure guage sender and oil light sender to go on this engine, goes in in place of the original oil light sender and is easy to wire up. Matching 2" VDO 0-5bar guages freely available too. It may just be the angle, but I think you MAY have mounted the dipstick a little high, I'll do the measurements on one of my spare engines and post them tomorrow. Steve |

Also do you have a link for the integrated pressure/level unit? sounds nifty |

I don't have a link but I can probably get you a Vauxhall part number. That sump of Ians came from Germany at ridiculous cost and was originally meant for an Opel Rekord or some such (its in his build thread) I found with the 8v engine that I didn't need to chop the front from the sump or the section above the rack (though clearance is VERY tight) but I did need to relieve the subframe to clear the oil filter. Then once I had the gearbox on the engine, the angles wouldn't work anymore so I did the subframe mod thoroughly rather than chop the sump about. (truthfully, I don't trust my welding to be oiltight!) I have in my garage, an oil cooler, takeoff fitting and pipes which I had thought to use but doesn't seem necessary on my car, interested? It came from an Astra GTE IIRC. Steve |

Steve, Not sure on oil cooler, I seem to remember Alan saying they never used to run one in the sunbeam rally car he used to spanner for, so didnt put one on! Steve, Ian, Thats why Alan is doing it, he wouldnt be if he didnt think it would be oil tight. |

I'd rather see that manta 400 in the back ground than a escort |
