Subject:VDO Oil Pressure Gauges and BusBoys
From:Craig Oda's Personal email

Hello,
first, I want to thank the following people for giving me advice on my
low oil pressure light problem, G.M. Bulley, William Greenamyer, Stan
Wilder, Ben Huot, Andrew Fox, Leon Korkin.

Well, I have mixed feelings of relief and anxiety knowing that many
people have this problem, but I am especially concerned with my
situation of having the light flash after about 10 minutes of driving
on the freeway, then getting off.  It seems to come on especially when
I press the gas or let it go, after the engine is warmed up.

I was going to buy a VDO Oil Pressure Gauge and dual sender from
BusDepot, but they didn't have the rubber extension tube in stock that
I believe is necessary to connect the pressure sender to the pressure
switch hole between cylinders 3 and 4.  So, I'm now thinking of
ordering the gauge through bus-boys, but there is a warning about the
service quality from bus-boys.  Does anyone have memories of bad
experiences with bus-boys?

Regards,
Craig
