Good work on the How To Guides. As for your sending unit, it looks 
like you are missing the sender adaptor (and washer) part 102821 
(and 102013). The OEM oil sender requires this and the replacement 
you ordered assumed you have not removed it. The sender you removed 
is not one I recognize as any kind of workable replacement and, in 
order to make it fit, someone obviously removed the adaptor. There 
are very few gauge senders that can properly operate the DMC gauge. 
The one you have purchased looks like a proper replacement - just 
get an adaptor and you should be fine.
