Re: FW: Oil Pressure Light Mystery

Ok,,,,,,,,, that was my train of thought,,,,,,, are the sending units of  
the correct vintage to go with the gauge cluster?

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
