Question oil pressure gauge condenser replacement options

I looked around here for awhile and on google for information about the condenser for the oil pressure gauge but havent been able to find anything as far as a "generic" replacement.

I know alot of guys will just tell you to pull the sender and run a aftermarket gauge instead but i really like having the oem gauge working in spec.

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement part that doesnt cost 14+shipping like people are selling the oem ones for?

I'd have to say no... Unless you can find someone shipping one for less than what you've stated.

Fairly sure it's just a 0.1uF 350V capacitor.

Thank you Aaron. Ill give that a try. I knew it was a capacitor just was unsure of the value. Only reason i asked was the pigtail snapped off so now oil pressure gauge reads 30 most of the time. The grey 7 still has it in and is working fine but i didnt want to pull it out to run a capacitance test cause things are corroded in there and would rather not risk having both my fc's without properly working gauges.

Ill see if i can pick one up this week locally and test it out. If not theres a site that would have it now that i know the value to look for. Its just a condenser after all, find it hard to believe in this day and age that the only option for replacement is another 20+ year old unit.
