Re: [AMC-list] Simple Pleasures or utter frustration....

Damn! [expletive not deleted] Every old car owner's worst fear. Let's hope
it's the !@!$!@! sender. Sudden total oil pressure loss would mean something
like the pickup cracked and fell off, right? If you cut the motor in time
you could have no harm done, though a severe inconvenience.

I too have an old SW or Summit mech. oil gauge. When I put the motor in our
74 Hornet, I installed it under the hood, T'd into the dash light hole. I
checked it at startup and for a few weeks then removed it.

No way I run mechanical gauges (except vacuum) any more, they always cause
problems long-term, but they're handy things for testing.

Harbor Fright, I simply don't shop them. Too low grade. But you don't need
high accuracy, an AutoZone or Kragen gauge kit would suffice, 50 vs 60 lbs
doesn't matter, 50 vs 5 does.

I hope this turns out well!
