Thanks, Dennis.

After posting this, and receiving an "Oh c'mon, you have enough knowhow
to troubleshoot this," from David Beierl, then getting your commonsense
response, I realized that I wasn't so much asking for rudimentary
troubleshooting help but expressing my irritation that if it's not one
darn thing, it's another. Sheesh.

I know I can trust the oil pressure gauge, it responds normally. Just
have to unlimber the old multimeter and figure out what went wrong
/this/ time.
