The last couple of weeks my oil pressure gauge has displayed erratic readings; sometimes normal (40-60) at 1600-2000rpm, and then it would "jump' and stay pinned at 3 o'clock all the way high. Since I was changing my oil this weekend, I checked it out. When the wire to the pressure sensor (screwed into the distributor base) is shorted the guage reads around zero. When the circuit is open (wire disconnected) the guage reads all the way high at 3 o'clock. Bought a new sender($15 at Advance Auto Parts), took about 5 min to wrap threads with teflon tape, remove the old and put in the new. On my trip from NJ to Boston Sunday night it read fine in the 40-65 range.
FSM has no details about sender(that I could find), but job is simple.
