Several people said they just add a second oil pressure sender to the engine (on the fuel rack, of course) and wire it to the oil pressure gauge with a switch to go back and forth between oil and fuel pressure. Sounds good to me, *and* it solves my wish that I had got the sender with two terminals when I first bought my VDO oil pressure gauge instead of being cheap and getting the single version and then having to put in a T for the idiot light sensor. However -- it also makes me sincerely wish I had bought the 80lb. version instead of the 150lb. gauge. Can't imagine what I was thinking -- even back when I had a super heavy-duty pump in my '68 van the pressure never went over 80. And the 80 gauge gives finer definition. So will the 150lb gauge read closely enough to be useful for watching fuel pressure? And is there any real difference in the 150 and 80 senders? I notice some ads offer both gauges but only one sender. -- Harmon Seaver hseaver@harmon.bml.usouthal.edu http://harmon.bml.usouthal.edu ======================================================================= All is impermanent, but this too shall pass away, and the way of the Samurai is death -- so speak your mind now, or forever hold your peace. ======================================================================= Copyright, Harmon F.
