When mine went bad I went to the local discount auto parts store and for
$9.95 I bought a mechanical oil pressure gauge. That meant drilling a
hole in the dash (above the passenger glovebox), but I much prefer to
know what the pressure is rather than waiting for a light to tell me
that I HAVE NONE!
Just personal preference.

Just ordered it from Moss this morning, $19.95. I never think to go to a
local auto parts, I guess 'cause the first thing they all usually say is
what did you say that was a Triumph? is that a German car?
Thanks
