Re: oil filter mount
 
The sensor probably is leaking - I had assumed that it got drenched
during the fixing of the filter mount, but now that I think about it,
it's most likely leaking.
Since I didn't know what to do about the oil pressure, I went ahead and
replaced the distributor cap, rotor, wires, and plugs - boy, did it need
it. Started right up. I forgot to watch the temp gauge this time, and
I don't really want to go cranking it over and over until I know the oil
pressure is fixed.

If the sensor is leaking it needs replaced anyway. This may fix your
problem. As Will pointed out, you can rent or buy a mechanical gauge and a
piece of hose to check the actual pressure that you are getting. I don't
know a whole lot about the instrument panel wiring, but no the temperature
gauge isn't supposed to peg when you are cranking.

Haha, no I'm not selling it anytime soon - I have big plans for this
