3.8L Vin Versions
I just got an 89 Bonneville SSE and I was wondering how you tell the difference between the 2 VIN versions of the 3.8L engines that were used in these cars? I know this is probably a dumb question but, I'm kinda new to all of this. Thanks a bunch.

yep the hole was there it just had a plug in it. I unscrewed the plug and screwed in my old sensor and it works fine.
Only thing is my oil pressure gauge reads all the way full when the car is on. I have no idea what caused this.

Sorry to come in so late but I just saw this post. Unless I'm misunderstanding you , you made something work thats not supposed to.
