Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger
Here's today's good guy alert.
The Magnum oil pressure sender uses the same resistance values as the old gauges, so I decided I would try get the factory oil pressure gauge working. I have a mechanical Autometer gauge, but I figured since the factory gauge is there and I already have a "T" on the oil pressure port in the block I might as well give it a try. Well, it turns out my gauge was dead. I checked to see if anyone on the forum had posted one for sale recently, and sure enough @4spdragtop did.
I reach out and ask him about it, and what does this guy do? He tests the gauge he has and just sends it to me, no questions asked. What an awesome guy!!
That really helps restore my faith in Mopar guys. Back in the 90s when I started putting this car together I feel like Mopar guys used to help each other out like that. My brand X buddies would always complain about how everyone is trying to make tons of money on brand X parts, but I always had Mopar guys willing to let stuff go cheap if they knew I would use it. In recent years that has changed, it seems now everyone is looking for top dollar for their parts. So, many thanks to Steve for helping me out and restoring my faith in the Mopar community!
Here's the gauge he sent me before I painted the pointer to match my other gauges:
