Added a gauge cluster...

Added a gauge cluster...
...& my oil pressure is just fine, folks. Mechanical unit verified
60lbs at startup. The sending unit for the front gauge is shot. I'll
get a new one ordered in the morning.

In the meantime, I added a cluster of three gauges in the back of the
coach tonight:

They look real purty all lit up. I've got a mechanical oil pressure
gauge on the right, volts in the center and coolant temp on the left -
haven't hooked the coolant temp lead up yet, though. Still trying to
figure out how to go about that one. Anyway, they're tied into the
rear lighting so they only come on with the engine door open. This was
a pretty easy project once I found that oil pressure sending unit.
Cost me all of forty bucks and will come in real handy when doing any
sort of engine troubleshooting.

Huge thanks for all of the advice on that sending unit.
