1976 oil pressure sender configuration

[Patrick H.]

Does anyone happen to know the correct configuration of the oil pressure sender for a 1976 Corvette? I'm working on the car of a friend, and he needs a new sender. When I search for one there appear to be about 3-4 different configurations available depending on who makes it. I want to be sure to get one that at least looks as correct as possible.

Any thoughts?

My recollection is that it's a "canister" style unit and it's painted black.

1976 may have used one of two senders. Early used GM #6462137 (same as 74-75). Late used GM #370801. I don't know how they differed in configuration. Believe it or not, I don't have either one.

This sender had a lot of "iterations" over the years as follows:

GM #6462137>GM #370801>GM#547034>GM #14039612>GM #14040816>GM #15591103>GM #19244935 (current)

Thanks Joe. It's about $44 on Amazon, and I'll let the owner know.
