yes, i don't have a part number or anything, but i'm sure you could pick one up at NAPA or someplace. you can sometimes get away with using a large socket.

You should be able to get a socket at most any parts store.

I used a 1 1/16 deep socket for removal and install of a new sending unit. Previous owner plumbed in a much smaller threaded one and disconnected it because it kept the light on. Corr :lol: ect size works as advertised! :lol:

I got the oil sender out. I used a 1" six sided socket, a 12 sided socket or a box end wrench would slip. One more try this morning and just by luck I picked up a 6 sided socked and it came out just fine... oil for my turbo!
