I've always run 'em off the negative. Positive is hot at all times when the key is on, while negative is the one that pulses... Quote Selected

I have it on #16, what Cool Cats, and Thundercat's has. It's a 6 cyl, so I added a 50k resistor in parallel to the one one there, so it would read right. I"ll take it apart, and take some pics of what I did. Quote Selected

The oil pressure is becasue it needs a new sending unit (it needs the TC on right?) but i think i just figured it out, I forgot to put one of the nuts that hold it to the housing back on. I'll try that, and see if it works Quote Selected
