That's just it.... I'm using the VDO 12" adapter.  But since the long rubber
hose runs as far as I could get it from the exhaust pipes, which isn't far
enough in my mind.  I am concerned that this is compromising the pressure
put to the sender.  I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but I'm looking
for reasons other that the engine for a show of low oil pressure.  It seems
too coincidental that the engine started showing low oilpressure with the
installation of a gauge.  Because, as I stated before, I never had the oil
pressure light that wasn't the caused by a short in the wiring.  I drove it
a lot during the summer (long drives) and there wasn't any show of oil
pressure.
any thoughts welcome.  If I ever get around to it, I'm going to a different
sender set-up.
