Re: oil pressure gauge of the scale

Sender wire is grounding somewhere - did you reconnect the sender wire?

Some cars have the guage sender on the top of the china wall, just to drivers side of distributor (single wire). The OPSU above the oil filter on these cars only supplies fuel pump circuit (2 wire units).

Later cars combined the 3 wires into one OPSU unit located above the oil filter - 2 thicker wires are fuel pump circuit, smaller wire for guage.
