Re: 2 way switch oil and gas on a 1934 1101-718 how it works

The gas/oil gauge switch in my 1934 Eight is different from HH's description. Mine which I'm certain is original to the car is a dead-man or momentary contact type switch. It normally reads from the gas tank sender and to read the oil level from the crankcase sender you press the switch button up against spring pressure and hold it for as long as you want the oil level displayed. Relax your finger pressure and it reverts to reading the fuel level.

There is a SPDT toggle switch under the dash in near proximity, it switches between the instrument lights and the map light.
