There is about 35 ohms between the oil sender and earth, and I haven't checked the resistance of the temp sender. I have the correct oil sender according to the parts manual. Also, the temp gauge on the standard dash didn't move up until the engine started warming up, so I doubt its the senders. Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem? Both fuel and volt gauges are fine. thanks Rhys
