> Yes Roger...I was wondering if that little voltage regulator which works the temp and gas gauge may have something to do with this.In my collection of junk I have one gauge cluster which has what looks to be something like a radio frequency capacitor which was connected at the center post of the voltage regulator. The gauge cluster/circuit board I installed did not have one of these.Could that have something to with this? I don't see how. Anyway, the temp and fuel gauge are measuring accurately.Thanks Roger!Donny

>> OK Fellas: How about this one:
>> For our just breaking-in 426 Street Wedge, we hooked up an oil pressure
>> gauge along with the standard dash warning light.
>> The gauge indicates good pressure, 40-50 PSI, and the motor hasn't seized
>> (yet) so we're convinced we have adequate engine oilling.
>> Meanwhile, the idiot light stays on all the time...does not diminish and
>> go out as oil pressure increases.
>> I think I have tried everything using a test light, changing sending
>> units, isolating and/or re-doing the gauge wire, isolating the circuit board,
>> trying different bulb/socket assemblies, removing our "T" fitting for the
>> gauge and screwing the sender straight in to the block as original, and on
>> and on.
>> Too late if my oil pressure gauge is "lying".
>> We're stumped...any suggestions???
>> Thanks, Donny, 64 Belvedere
