Hello,
Have a 73 vert with 351 C 2V . Runs fine ... no issues. Last night was out and noticed that at traffic light stopped in drive the oil light would flicker and come on solid or just flicker. If I put the car in neutral which increased the rpm's the light would go out. While driving the light would stay off. I have a set of Bosch mechanical guages installed which show engine temp at 190 - 195 degrees. Car has proper level of oil in it. The OP guage shows app. 25-27 pounds at idle and and app. 50 pounds while driving. On initial startup the pressure is at app. 75 pounds until engine warms up. I believe the oil light is coming on do to a loose wire or maybe a bad oil sender, which is original to the car. Any thoughts ? Thanks
