BAD LUCK AGAIN

Stick with it, bro; you'll get it. The best parts are not paying someone else and knowing you made sh*t happen.

For me oil pressure is the one mechanical gauge that I like keeping mechanical, with no sender that can go bad you either have oil pressure or you don't.
Since using copper or braided tubing solves the issue I will stay with them.

I'm with you on that , my temp and oil are mechanical, if the gas gauge or volt guage malfunction without me being aware all I need is a tow truck instead of an engine if it was an electric oil or temp gauge that went bad

As I’ve said before, this stuff is all new to me. Give me a door or fender to straighten and lighn up, I’m at home. All this mechanical stuff is trial and ERRORS for me.

You're doing fine. Stuff like this happens. We all learn this way occasionally.

Been there done that. Mine blew while I was driving and shot oil all over my shoe. The only way I would use mechanical gauges is with AN line and fittings.

Electronic gauges=no leaks

i hade a 79 old delta 88 royale that i used the plastic line with and i did fine until it warmed up and touched the egr valve. you could tell i had good oil pressure. sold the car to an older mechanic and he put a 455 rocket in it boy did it smooth out.
