Thanks, it is a camper.  And I want to figure how to remount so it can be
switched back in winter, handy source of heat then.

After fooling around with the engine on my trip the oil pressure light quit
working.  I think I've found the connection on the engine, a green wire
slide clip on the oil filter housing and it's good, I think.  Maybe a blown
bulb but the failure was just to opportune with the fool around.  Any other
ideas?

Also after installing the rebuilt engine the battery/oil pressure/other
light I've forgotten the source of no longer go on at start as they used to.
Doesn't seem as though this would be a problem but does anyone have another
thought on the subject?
