<VV> No Oil Press. Light....

[jimster1]

The sender supplies a ground to the bulb when you've got no oil pressure.
If you pull the connector from the sender you should have 12V. with the
ignition on.  It sounds like a broken connection between the dash and the
sender.  good luck

Subject: <VV> No Oil Press. Light....

When I turn the key to 'on' I no longer get a Oil Pressure/ Temp lite before

starting the motor. Seems like I used to.... 

I've checked the bulb, and it's good. 

I've checked the connector to the oil pressure switch- with the key 'on' I
get 
NO voltage at the connector. Should I? 

I've tried grounding-out the connector, and still no light. 

The wire to the connector seems to disappear somewhere under the 
distributor, so I haven't traced it any further than that yet. 

I haven't been mucking-about up under the dash, so there's no reason 
anything should have come loose up in there.... 

Fan/Gen light lights up just fine. 

Anything obvious I'm missing here? 

This is a 65 with a 110 motor. 

PS: re the knocking/tapping sound I was experiencing a few weeks ago: 
Kudos to whomever suggested adding Rislone. Cleared the problem right up!
