Recently purchased a 70 RR with a 383 (Rally Dash,auto & A/C). Both the oil pressure and tempature gauge are not working correctly...well the temp gauge is not working at all and the oil pressure gauge shows 20 lbs. all the time when the engine is running. Wiring seems to be in place ok. Looking into replacing both the senders first (cheaper and easier then replacing the gauges). Anyway been looking at the repro parts catalogs and they show different types for a 70 B Body with a 383. Was wondering if someone could post a photo of what the right or correct ones are supposed to look like......Been finding a few things on this car that are the wrong parts so can't really trust what is there is correct.......the shop manual does not show any photos of either.....One mopar owner told me the senders are different depending on if they connect to a gauge or a idiot light The catalogs do not show different ones for each application.....one says the one tempature sender they offer is for both. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

check with an Ohm meter first and also check your voltage regulator plugged in the back of the dash

and with out saying you have checked the ground of course
 
No I haven't......have already ordered the replacement senders.......if no change when I replace them then I will send you a PM for more info on the behind the dash voltage regulator
