[Shotimes] getting to the oil pressure sender

[Bruce Malachuk]

I love having my oil pressure gauged hooked up to a SS line. You see the
engine's blood pumping numbers with so much more detail than when I had the
copper tubing.

Ony thing that I think I might not like is that I'm considering a move to
all digital gauges and I would loose that super accurate and responsive
readout on oil pressure.

Course that is unless the digital gaueges I'm looking at aren't as
responsive.

Ian;
Changing the dia to increase flow can have an affect, just not on the
pressure reading.
I changed an oil pressure line once from small plastic tubing (1/16 in) to
1/4 in dia tubing (copper then S.S.) With a mechanical guage. The change in
needle response was amazing! From 1-3 seconds for a change, to quick 10 lb
jumps in a 1/4 second! I could even see the pressure drop instanteously in
an A-X corner, when the oil pickup un-covered!
