Guys,
That is the strange thing. When I start up it says oil level low.When I turn it off and restart the light stays off. If I make a short trip and restart it will also stay off. I might consider the pan change prviding the motor I have is identical to the 91 stock motor.

Tonight as I was looking under my 91, I noticed a 2 wire plug close to the starter and out of the same bundle as the starter wires but this is unplugged. I cannot find where or if it is needed. Anyone have an idea?

This thread is a little confusing to me. You say the wire is hanging close to the starter. You agree it is the same plug Daniel shows in his photos which plugs into the front side of the oil pan. Greg says the oil level sender on a '91 model is on the back side of the oil pan.
If all of the above is true, how did GM intend for you to route the wire you have hanging in front of the oil pan, to plug it into a sender on the rear of the pan? I would not think they intended for the wire to run under the oil pan to connect to the sender. Maybe someone with a '91 could shed some light on this. I would hold off on buying an oil pan until these inconsistencies are cleared up.
You also might want to do some investigating to be sure you do indeed have a '91 model... Do you have a TEVES brake system or a vacuum booster brake system?

Ronnie,
It is on the back side of the oil pan and that is where my starter wires run from. I also have an 88 and 89 and they are like the pictures that were posted. I never thought to look under them since I am working under the 91 and that's how this caught my attention. Thanks to all for the help.
Chris

I hate to admit it but I'm still confused.
It is on the back side of the oil pan and that is where my starter wires run from.
Are you saying your starter wires come from the rear of the oil pan to the front of the oil pan where the starter is located? I assume your '91 has the starter located on the side of the engine nearest the radiator?
I also have an 88 and 89 and they are like the pictures that were posted. I never thought to look under them since I am working under the 91 and that's how this caught my attention.
I understood you to say your '91 was like the wires shown in the photo.
Sorry about the dumb questions. I have never had the opportunity to look under a '91 model and maybe that is why I don't understand clearly what you are saying.

Ronnie,
I finally had time to go back and look again and the plug is on the front of the oil pan. The new motor I have does not have the low oil switch in the oil pan. YOu are not confused, just me!!!
Thank you replying. I have been very fortunate for all the people who help out when there is trouble or questions.
Chris
