I have a relatively (2 months) new2me 1969 S2a 88 - it came with an aftermarket conversion to spin off oil filter and a bunch of assorted parts including a dash panel with oil pressure gauge (electric).
I've cleaned up the panel, repainted it and mounted my choke and heater valve cables in it. Now I'd like to make the oil pressure gauge read something other than zero.
My question is where do I put/find the sensor? And in LR factory parlance is the word switch interchangeable with sensor?
I ask the latter because I've found factory manual drawing that show an "oil pressure switch" mounted on the original oil filter mount.
1. Is the oil pressure switch/sensor used only for the idiot light (that works) in the gauge cluster? Or can it operate a gauge as well.
2. how does one go about powering a gauge given that I no longer have the original oil filter mount?
3. what does the sensor/switch high up on the front RH side of the engine block feed?
4. Is that the replacement for the filter mount switch?
Thanks
Mike
