[Chevelle-list] another subject (oil light)

[william yetman]

 I was wondering if anybody knows what would cause the oil light to stay =
    on, other than no oil preasure, (72 chevelle ss) I know there is =
    preasure.  First a little history... I was having trouble getting the =
    temp gauge to work so while I was trying to fix it I fried the circuit =
    board. OOPS! anyway I replaced it and added a ground to the bottom =
    terminal of the temp gauge and it now works fine but the oil light does =
    not go out. Any ideas or help would appreciated once again.

  If it has been wrapped up for the past 20 years I'd see if it'll turn over.  I'd pull the pan and check at least one main and one rod bearing for any rust.  Maybe get it in writing that if (when) you pull the heads that there won't be any rust buildup around the rings.  I'm sure it hasn't been kept in a temperature controlled environment for 20 years.  The #3916323 casting is a 68 block, makes me curious as to why no numbers were ever stamped on it. ?
