I have a little different question pertaining to oil pressure sending units.
I have a 65 Monza that I added a mechanical gage to, but by using various
fittings retained the sending unit since I also wanted to retain as
operational idiot light. Everything on this car works as it should. I also
have a 67 Monza that I have done the same thing to. On the 67 the oil pressure
light works as it should, but maintains a light glow after the oil pressure
comes up. It was doing this when I bought the car. I have since replaced the
entire engine (both are 110's), and used 3 different sending units, but the
problem persists. The car has had the dash replaced with a Corsa dash before
I bought it. The other idiot light (Fan/Alt) works normal.( Does not glow at
all with alternator putting out. This is particularly irritable at night when
it is very obvious and distracting. Is there something special on a 67 that
is different than a 65? I don't see any differences on the electrical
drawing. Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks.
