It may work with other similar brands of oil pressure gauges that have a similar movement. **Q: Does this sending unit work with Auto meter 3327?** A: Yes . I Have the same gauge and it works perfectly in my 1965 Ford Mustang retromod with the American Auto wire harness **Q: Does this sending unit work with Auto meter 4327?** A: According to Autometer, yes it will work ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oil press transmitter *by on Reviewed in the United States September 17, 2026* As described, works good and fast shipping. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needs good ground thru pipe threads for it to work properly! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 20, 2024* Works as it should once you establish a good ground! Teflon thread tape can be used to seal the pipe threads, but the unit must be screwed in very tightly to establish a good ground to the engine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Revised - Great Product! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 11, 2016* It is unfortunate the unit failed within 48 hours of installation.I am buying a replacement sender today hoping the new unit will work as designed.10/14/2016 - Update - Upon replacing the failed unit, I realized the micro-orifice in the unit was plugged with a small teflon tape particle. I used teflon tape as a thread sealant. I have to admit this is user error - my user error. I am revising my Review to a 5 - highly satisfied. I will keep the replaced sender as a backup.10/16/2016 - Update - The new unit failed again. However, upon unistalling the sender unit I noticed the micro-orifice was blocked with small fragments of of teflon tape. I drilled a 1/8 in. hole in the sender unit using the micro-orifice as a guide. I then proceeded to test the sender unit by hooking it up to a 30 psi air compressor. The electrical resistance readings covered the range of 0 to 200 ohms. Finally, upon final installation in the car, the gauge worked perfectly showing an oil pressure reading from 25 psi to 75 psi. I am now rating the unit a 4 because of the extra effort required to get it to work correctly. I am posting this to inform other readers whose sender units have failed. Based on my experience so far, it appears the factory orifice diameter needs to be increased to minimize field failures. ## Frequently Bought Together - AUTO METER 2242 Short Sweep Electric Oil Pressure Sender - AUTO METER 2258 Short Sweep Electric Temperature Sender - AUTO METER 2385 Autogage Electric Temperature Sender --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/12981528-auto-meter-2242-short-sweep-electric-oil-pressure-sender](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/12981528-auto-meter-2242-short-sweep-electric-oil-pressure-sender) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
