Well, I finally figured out the problem with my fuel and oil pressure factory gauges. I was under the '40 yesterday hooking up the return oil line for the third time (after replacing the oil sender with the 50# unit), looked up to see a wire that had become disconnected. Wondered, could this be the problem on the nonworking fuel gauge ? Reconnected the wires, crawled out from under the car, reconnected the battery, fired the '40 up and had working oil pressure and fuel gauges !!! Again, many thanks for all the good information and help from the people on this site.
Guess I need to look for the real simple solutions first !!!
