Trevor;
Hmmm...good question! Mine does the same thing -- gets to around 50 real =
early after start up and creeps to 70-75 as it warms up.=20
I just figured more and early is good, since the pressure guage goes to =
75 and stays there. I'll be watching the responses to this, but I'd be =
more concerned if the pressure were low at start and stayed there. I =
guess its better to be suspicious than ignorantly content.

Subject: MGB electric oil pressure sender
Does anyone have a firm grasp on how the electric
oil pressure sender works?
Mine registers 50psi as soon as I turn the ignition
on, so I suspect it has some LUCAS gremlin somewhere.
Is the sender a pressure sensitive resistor? If so, which
direction does it sweep when pressure rises?
