Re: 1951 288 oil pressure

I think you'll find the following quote from the 1954 owner's manual, page 7, reassuring: "This (oil pressure) indicator sometimes will light up or flicker when the engine is idling even though the idle oil pressure is adequate; however the light should go out when the engine is speeded up." This happens all the time on my '54 as soon as the oil gets warmed up. Before I downloaded the owner's manual from this site I found that if I shifted the Ultramatic into neutral the light stayed out most of the time. Since I read the above statement I just let it flicker at stoplights and I haven't had any problems from this.
