- With the Midget in the shop. I have asked allot of questions about this and that. There seems to be a consensus that the 1500 engine has a less than perfect bottom end. My question is, should I add a

- I'm not sure what you're having done to your 1500 but might I make a few suggestions? If you're rebuilding the engine, have the center main oil galleries opened up. The center main is very prone to

- They used to put them in but the low readings probably scared too many people! My 76 had a combo gauge and it showed just a little oil pressure at (hot) idle and very little more at (hot) speed. Not

- '79 is the only year without an oil gauge. It would only worry you anyway to see how low they read, but one out of any earlier car will work. Gerard -- Please visit Four Points Travel - Discount Onli

- Sorry Gerard, the 78 and I believe the 77 have the idiot light instead of the combo gauge. You can find a combo gauge at many swap meets, but make sure the temp gauge part works. And they are expensi

- I stand corrected. I remember that now that you mention it as I looked it up before. OSM lists that change in Aug '77. Same time they changed to 3.7:1 Gerard -- Please visit Four Points Travel - Dis

- Ahh well, we can't all be perfect ;-) I just know because I had a 76 (with combo gauge) and now a 78 (with idiot light). Allen H has a 77 (I think) with idiot light). Last one I looked at, at a swap

- OK Mr. S. Nazi. Find me a set of Smith's or Jaeger's in 1" size, I will gladly replace the SunPro's. They work. Period, end of discussion. Larry At this exact moment in time: 6/23/02 10:21 AM, "Rober

- The center main does not get enough oil. It's not a matter of pressure. Keep in mind that this is a free reving 3 main engine. the more oil it gets on the moving bits, the better it is. My 77 stays a
