edit,edit,edit....
.I also STRONGLY recommend against a mechanical oil pressure gauge, unless
you use copper, steel on indestructamonium tubing. I had a cheap RAC gauge
on my 63 bug.....that fateful dark night in '75....no lighting in the
gauge..Somehow the cheesy nylon tubing supplied with the gauge cracked and
enough engine blood sprayed the underside of my car to keep it rust free
for a while...also welded the bearings to the crank.....not fun.
