Default OEM oil pressure sender

I am right now looking for an as correct as possible oil pressure sender for my car (if in doubt, see signature).
I was wondering if anyone here has any pictures of the original style unit.

If I have followed the numbers correct this is something along the lines of the part numbers as ordered;
6462137
6463727
487617
487616
499504
370801
547034
14039612

I believe that the original unit was one that looked something like this:



then it was replaced with one that looked something like this:



then later it was replaced with one that looked more like this:



I will look over the units I have on engines (it's a bit chilly out right now), and was wondering if ever these units had the part number, or an abbreviated part number stamped on them.
The couple older loose ones I have do have an "80" stamped on the hexed portion of the base just below the threaded section, and on the opposite hex face as the "80" is a four digit number.

IIRC, the "80" refers to the sender being calibrated for an 80 lb. max gauge. The 4 digits should be the date code.

They do look something like that but the base has what looks like a hex head stamped in the steel and the top has the connector held on using a nut.

Yes the one in your second post and SD73 post is the correct and highly desired sender.

And here's a few not so clear pics of original 6462137's from my blue '71 and blue '70 VN TA's. Notice these have the white plastic collar to retain the black rubber wire boot.

My 6462137 units ('70) were painted black and had a fiber washer (not white, but a brownish color). My 6463727 units ('74) were plated.

Could just be underbody spray or similar since it's only on one side.

Default OEM oil pressure sender

Here is my original oil sender from my 70 TA. I cleaned it up and it works perfectly. You can even see the original adapter fitting.

I can see that my question was clearly answered!!

Now I'll just cross my fingers that I have one, or can find one!!
