The 'ground' wire from the dashboard Oil indicator lamp to its Sender is shown as White w/ a red stripe.

The '55 (thunderbird) wiring diagram I have shows a black with green striped wire from the C / ignition coil terminal of the ignition switch providing power to the dashboard Oil indicator bulb.

There should also be a matching black w/ green stripe wire to the Gen dash lamp, or a single wire may possibly come from the C terminal of the Ign switch and feed both of those lamps.
