Fired up the engine today
- When you think you've placed the ignition wires in the correct order, check again. Then one more time.
- water temp gauge not reading but not surprising as currently cannot run engine long enough for the water to get hot
- small trickle of water from under the thermostat housing
- engine seems to "idle" about 1200 rpm on the tach. Need to check settings on the tach
- No oil pressure.
- checked the sender and its resistance is correct at about 240ohms.
- grounded the sending wire and the gauge pegs max.
- took the sender out of the block and cranked the engine. Oil comes out .. blurb...blurb. not sure if supposed to spurt out with more pressure?
- adjusted the oil regulator in more to see if any difference but nothing.
Thoughts on the oil pressure ?
- go get a mechanical gauge?
- is it time to remove the oil pan and check for missing plugs?
