Elko in Melbourne has them, or Oder on line at rock auto .com, summit racing, Mancini racing,  firstly are your sure its the sender, don't know how to test, look up the tread on here in electrical for info on how to test it ,

stay away from our K mart type parts stores , all are hopeless when it comes to these cars , learn to shop on line, summit good , set up a paypal account, will still be cheaper then getting it from elko

pretty sure you would need the 80psi sender...that is max reading on your dash gauge

Sender resistance value is 10 ohms full scale and 73 ohms with no pressure. Temp and fuel use the same value. As far as I know there is only one sender for the factory gauge, never seen a different one but I could be wrong.

you missed the point, think of a couple other items you need and ask them to combine shipping, by the time that sender gets here will be lucky to be double that  price , Elko will ask 60 to 80 bucks for that, that's how they make their money , understand

 i know that why i didnt try them,, thats why i tried local parts bloke,,,

Iv'e got an even better idea , get a group buy going with the other guys on here from your area, like the guys state side do,

A 318 would have the lower pressure unit. I assume you have a factory oil pressure gauge and not a dummy light. The sender pictured is for the factory gauge....the dummy light would get a totally different, smaller sender.
