<VV> Re: Oil pressure sending switch

[GFrenzie at aol.com]

Hello all Fc'ers...
 
A few months ago, I wrote and asked for any ideas in fixing my '61  Rampside, 
as the oil pressure sending switch decided to "go south" on me. Well,  with 
the Ramp having a generator, getting to the switch was almost impossible,  as 
the fan belt pulley extended just enough over the switch that I couldn't  get a 
socket on it. And accessing the bolts for the generator was  a problem also. 
 
While walking thru my local Home Depot, I noticed a basin wrench,  and 
thought, what the heck I'll give it a try. It only took about 45  minutes to replace 
the switch, using the wrench as I had previously removed the  fan belt and  
gas line to the left bank, so I had to replace them. 
 
So, if any of you have to replace your switch and you have a  generator, I 
suggest using a basin wrench. It ended up being a "piece of cake"  to replace 
the switch. 
 
Thanks to all that previously offered  suggestions on how to  fix the problem.
