Ken I am leaning towards your kit because of the simplicity of the install and the ability to add oil temp later. I just watched your video on bending the pin over in the cluster to disable the buzzer. If I understand correctly doing this will still allow the idiot light in the dash to function the way the pre 86 system did, will come on due to low pressure at idle. Am I understanding that correctly?
Best Regards,
Nick DeAngelis
