as above is there any way i can rig it up with out tapping the rear iron or buying a 50$ adapter plate?

as the sa dosnt have a oil pressure sender any bright ideas

heres some pics of my car

 

Buy an aftermarket gauge and tap the banjo bolt on the oil cooler line on the rear housing.

After all the hard work sanding and painting the engine bay, why not paint the irons?

 

i duno didnt worry me that much i guess its clean enough
ok and also i found the spark plugs in the sa were diff to my fb ones

sa is br7et ngk
fb is br8eq14 ngk

will the fb ones still work on the sa?

the thread pitch size looks the same

 

Not sure on the difference in the plugs, but FB ones fit fine. The SA coils are 9 volt, iirc, FBs are 12v.

 

well im using a sa engine in a 84 gs ill be using fb igntion on the sa

but i like to know bout this sparkplugs the housings must be the same

 

They all have the same thread pitch and diameter.

 

unpainted iorns look 1000000 times better.

 

The thread pitch should be the same all the way to 91. I use second gen plugs in my FB.

 

thanks guys

 

 

A buddy of mine has a '79 with the original engine, but it has been converted to the 81-85 ignition. When he bought it, it had the 79 plugs still in it. He replaced them with plugs for the later models, and they fit fine. Only differences I could see, was the early plugs only had 3 side electrodes, and were a different heat range. He swore the car runs better with the later style plugs.

 

The FB plugs run just fine, I run them in my SA.

 

Chris;
I have a extra Rear Oil Line setup if you want to do the WackyRacers HookUp.
Free of Course. Let me know and I'll drop it by for ya.
I also have an extra Oil Pressure Sensor if you want to Tap into the Rear Housing.
But i'm sure you have one of those from one of the other engines.
I can't remeber if the SA Engines Rear Housings where already Tapped.
