Well, the project van is running, the engine probably only has 30min
or so on it, enough for the paint to start burning off of the S&S exhaust
and for me to fill the cooling system and get the engine tuned up.
     I'm gonna go up this weekend and put it though a break-in cycle to
get the rings seated, but until then I'm having a little niggling problem.
     I wired a VDO oil pressure gauge up with the dual sender and the
extension hose.  I wasn't entirely clear on which post the gauge was to
be wired and which kept the idiot light wire.  They are labeled S and WK
(I'm pretty sure of that, but the van is 50 miles away and I didn't write
it down).  I wired the gauge to the S terminal and the WK to the idiot
light.
     The gauge is reading about what I'd expect, about 60lbs cold at idle
(10W30, new bottom end) settling down to the 20-30 range.
     The idiot light, unfortunately is a bit weird.  It doesn't give its
normal test routine, blinking continuously, but not buzzing with the
ignition on and the engine off.  It goes off when I start the engine, but
comes back on and buzzes a few minutes after I start the engine and rev
it.  (It doesn't come on if I keep the engine at or near idle)  All the
time, the gauge reads plenty of oil pressure.

     Any ideas?
