The ring and pinion in my orange 69 Yenko Camaro was also dated from 1967 as I understand it the first batch of ring and pinions were dated wrong.
Here is a picture of my L78 conv vent but it was a Kansas built car

Default oil pressure sending unit

Here are pics of my original sending unit from my 06c Baltimore built SS convertible. This is a gauge car. Note the original black paint and the date code.

I did not send them directly to you - If I recall I forwarded them to you via Woj. If I recall Woj's words exactly: "I will be the clearing house for all technical information on this Nelson project?" ...or something to that effect! ;>))

did your car have the Yenko installed SW gauges - oil amp watertemp?
there would be holes for the gauge panel and holes in the firewall to run the lines.

I don't think Yenko used the oil pres sending unit when the SW gauges were installed
