Hey Guys,

I just picked up a 1981 Vanagon L. 7 pass. and I have a few questions:

1st, what should the oil pressure be at idle? 2500 r.p.m.? w.o.t.? Anyone
have these numbers? My oil light is coming on when the motor is warm and the
bus is at idle. It goes away as soon as I "goose" the throttle, but I want
to check and see if the sending unit is wrong, or the pressure is in fact
low. I have a guage which I'll hook up to the sending unit orifice, but I
need some reference numbers to check against.

2nd, what is the connector that comes from under the intake manifold (pass.
side at the throttle body area) through the tranny/engine connection, that
loops over the tranny and forward toward the front of the bus? It seems to
be 2 strand twisted until it comes into the engine compartment  and then
becomes a male 3-prong inside the engine bay? It looks just like an O2
sensor wire, but I don't see one on my exhaust anywhere. Yikes. P-mail me
and I can shoot pictures to better describe this connector.

3rd, what is the "pickup" unit under the engine on the passenger side bolted
to the starter and near the pass. side inner c.v. joint?

Are #2 and #3 the same?

TIA,

Ward
