Thanks. I think???
Anyway, getting back to the oil pressure idiot-gauge, I'm going for it. But wait! There's MORE!!!
Mark also makes fix'ins for the battery idiot-gauge and the temperature idiot-gauge... The latter of which is most likely why mine showed "alls well," and then shot up incredibly fast, giving NO warning of impending overheating, which ruins the heads from chronic overheating.
This now goes WAY beyond being sold a phony gauge. 🤬
(Never "said" that before.)
You save $40 getting the kit of all three. It's next on my agenda.
And the thread oHIo sent me to discusses a 0-100 psi kit.
Mark suggested, and I agree, the 0-80 psi kit offers more resolution, especially where we will be operating. A different sender-sensor is used, and a different module.
Here's a curious kicker. The 0-80 psi sensor was used until perhaps a decade ago. This begs the question, why the change to 0-100 psi? Either some rigs need it and it's cheaper to make just one part, or, in the "Mo's better," american way, 0-100 is just an arbitrary bigger number to "look hotter." Like a pseudo-gauge looks hotter, and noone's the wiser. Penny wise, pound foolish. It bears repeating... 🤬

Not sure why the beef, Bill. The 0-80 sender is still available.
