RE: Oil Pressure Gauge

["Richard & Julie Arnold" <rarnold@domain.elided>]

I recently had the same problem on my '73 Spider.  I found the problem
to be a loose terminal post on the back of the gauge, ground as usual.
A 7mm wrench cleared the problem up.

Are Alfa's cheap?  Most of what we do for shear enjoyment will never
return our investment in monetary terms.  Alas, all but a few models of
Alfa Romeo fit this description.  I have spent plenty of money on Alfa's
that I have and do own. They are family and cannot be forsaken!
Besides, if my wife wants to know where I am, all she has to do is look
in the garage.

Best regards,
RAA

Subject: Oil Pressure Gauge

I just had my engine and gearbox reconditioned on my GT Junior. If you
were 
to ask if Alfa ownership is cheap, don't ask my wife at this moment in 
time. Just as well she understands me after 22 years of marriage and all

the cars I have done up over the years although the Alfa has been the
most 
expensive of them all. Before I put the engine in for reconditioning the

oil gauge worked perfectly. Now it works sometimes but mostly not and
other 
times it stays on zero. I have replaced the oil pressure sender unit 
without any change. Has anyone got any ideas before I may be forced to
go 
out and buy a new oil pressure gauge. Before anyone asks, I did have the

mechanics put a mechanical oil gauge on the motor and the oil pressure
is 
perfect so it has to be in the electrics somewhere.
Thanks,
