> 3) Connect a different gauge and verify that the reading is accurate (or
> not).
It might be worth mentioning here that almost any automotive supply house
(Kragen, Checker, Pep Boys or whoever sells cheap parts in your area) will have
an aftermarket add-on oil pressure gauge for around $20. I keep one in the
toolbox. Fittings can be a problem, but for a temporary test it's OK to use
'rubber' fuel line and clamps to make a connection. Force the rubber over the
end of the braided hose in the original TR line, and over one of the fittings
supplied with the gauge.
