The video shows more steps than are really needed. Once you have the blue foil connector unplugged from the back of the speedo you can see the 6 pins inside the speedo, a set of 2 pins and a set of 4. Just use a tool to push the outside pin of the set of 4 over a little. Then plug the blue foil connector back on MAKING SURE that it misses the pin that you pushed out of the way. It is tight but it will go. Just angle the connector slightly as you insert it, starting at the end where you want it to miss the pin. The oil light will still work at all rpms, it just won't ever buzz and won't try to use the higher rpm pressure switch. Mark

They had one sensor and a light. The newer system had two sensors one for idle/low RPM and the other sensor for high RPM. Bending the pin disabled the buzzer and the high RPM circuit. Here’s the video that Ken posted. > > https://youtu.be/c1CeghGKSp0 > > |
