The book said that with an installation at the front of the car the gauge was still showing 40 psi while the oil warning light had already come on at a stoplight. I guess they had a dual system installed on the car (?). Anyway, I wouldn't try it. -David ============================================================================= David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems '73 Capri GT 2800 (Da Beast) San Diego, California '87 Mustang Lx 5.0 (Da Bruiser?
