Thanks, Ross. Sounds like you are speaking from experience on the oil light!

I want to try and have these little important things working on this car for such reasons. Likewise on the 400 I'm not particularly fond of the oil gauge, which often does not even work. There is a hydraulic gauge installed under the dash that works fine, but checking it is akin to looking at the floor. So I need to at least troubleshoot the electric oil gauge in the future.

Oh, on the Clipper the oil light is also not working but it (or the temp gauge, or both) have damaged wiring which I have not gotten around to patching yet. Now that I think of it, the 5V regulator is probably nonfunctional also. The 320 engine I have is from a Nash or Hudson and it's unclear to me whether the senders that it (probably) has in it would be compatible. I'll probably just buy a triple gauge to check the operation/calibration of the factory senders at the very least.
