<VV> TEMP/PRESS Light

[shortle]

Hi Bill, Yes the temp sender is in a different location. The cylinder head temp sender is installed in the bottom of the right cylinder head (passanger side) towards the rear. It sounds like you have a bad oil pressure sender (next to the alternator). It requires a special socket to remove and install it. It is a fairly common tool as it is used on many GM cars (and probably others).
I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

>Also, Clarks' catalog says that their sender..."TOP CRACKS AND LEAKS" and "THIS IS NOT TEMP!!!'  Does that mean that the part is defective when it arrives in its packaging?  Also, does the "TEMP comment mean that this sender is not a temperature sender, or that it's not a "temporary solution?"  That fills me with a lot of confidence.
