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.
