Default Just got a Vett
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a 98 Pace Car. It has 115K, but is in awesome shape. Drives perfect, good EMT rubber, great interior & paint, and the only common problem I can find is the oil pressure sending unit. I probably paid too much at 19,000, but this car shows and drives like a 30k mile car. The bolsters on the seats aren't even ripped!!

Oil pressure sending unity is under the intake (if I remember correctly).

Question is - why is this important? At 115k - is there an issue, and if so it may, or may not, be associated with the OSU.
