For all:
I went for a nice 3 hour ride in SAKE RKT on Saturday
afternoon, all through Pungo, down into North Carolina,
to the Currituck Sound ferry landing, back to the dismal
swamp and up Rt 17. We may not have cool mountains
in these parts, but we do have cool deserted twisty
two lane roads.......I had an old buddy with me who
had shown up for my Navy Retirement Ceremony,
and he thought the roadster was great, he has
a Porche 944S and an old Miata. He allowed as to
how the roadster was considerably faster and more
tossable than the Miata, but I already knew that!
About 2/3 of the way through this little trip I noticed the
oil pressure was pegged at zero! Well, I thought, if
it was really zero the engine would have already blown up,
so I kept on, and subsequently noticed I had no gas,
and an ice cold engine, then all gauges started working
again......so I am thinking I need one of these instrument
volatage regulators also. I will check all the connections
first, but I would consider the symtoms to point with
high probability to the little tin box under the
steering shaft with the two wires coming out of it.
Over the course of 3 hours the clock advanced about
20 minutes, so this may mean there is some sort of
hope of repairing it! I think it may run for a few
minutes when you go over big bumps.
More to follow....

It's located under the steering wheel and looks like this.
