Update...

Slow progress yet progress still...

I have installed a mechanical gauge where the old sender had been installed.

I removed the incorrect oil pressure sender I had installed.

I wired around the ground cross connect for the current sender. Same pegging of the oil pressure gauge. Wiring good. Sender looks to be the culprit.

I am evaluating ways to test the gauge which only reads zero or pegs at 80psi.

I am sourcing a new sender that will be compatible with existing gauges.

The mechanical gauge has been great. Husky, $20 from Home Depot.

Confirmed actual oil pressure is 40psi as it has always been.

Located a great spot to install a multi-gauge/sender mounting plate, where I will install OPSS, mechanical gauge, and oil pressure sender this winter. Really a revelation to extend pressure hose to plate and all oil related gauges.

Much better perspective on replacement components I want to keep on board.

Much better perspective on resistance, continuity, and wiring around electrical cross connects to test.

Thankful.
