Maybe. I can recall only 1 or 2 oil switch problems. I think a long
time ago someone put on a T and added an oil gauge.

Hmmm, you thinking of running them up, Pat? Last
I heard Harold was thinking of coming over Saturday. If so, and if so, maybe coming over here when Harold does could work well - distance is about the same for ya.

My tail light worked perfectly, I even took a meter to it... but one day
out of morbid curiosity I replaced it with my car light and vice-a-versa... Seems the filament was BARELY touching, just enuf to make contact in the normal position.. but every bump it would break contact and the oil light would flash and scare the hell out of me... In the more powerful car electrical system it failed completely. This has happened twice now, and now I always buy the "Heavy Duty" style bulbs and it seems much happier with it.
