Listers,

BTW, would this same procedure work with one of the split gauges (oil
pres./temp.)?  And is it simply a matter of replacing one of the existing g=
auges
with a split guage?  (I know, I know, nothing is "simply" a matter of anyth=

You can go to your parts store and get a "T"  adapter for a couple of bucks.
Screw the "T" into the engine block, then attach the new sender to the "T".
Then, connect the old oil pressure warning switch to the other side of the
"T".  When I did mine, the "T" came in a kit with adapters to match the
different thread sizes if that is a problem.  This way you get the best of
both worlds, warning light and active pressure guage.  Its an easy upgrade=20=
and
well worth it for an older car.
