Well folks, re P6 3500 auto 1974
Another stupid post, do P6s have ghosts? I am bloody sure mine has, my old grandad never did like me, and he is haunting my car. As soon as am nearing the project finish, something else goes wrong, (see my previous posts) Started her up last Sat, lovely, until smoke billows from the engine, I hadn't notice but the return fuel pipe had somehow moved and had touch the exhaust pipe, petrol every where, very scary, OK, replaced that, after changing my pants. But of course on restart, still plenty of gas still soaked into the manifold, OK, so I had another go yesterday, started well, crikey no oil pressure, this is why I now have the alternator of AGAIN,
Now, two pressure switches on the oil pump, just visible. Having had 50psi before, I am hoping its not the pump.
I am guessing at the smaller switch is an indicator light which comes on with ignition?
The larger one, goes to the pressure gauge I assume
So before I throw a bomb under the car, all comments, as long as I am not pilloried, (been watching the Musketeers on telly, bloody rubbish) welcomed,
By the way grandad is also moving tools and parts from my garage.
Men in white coats has just knocked on my door, so I will be OK soon, I am 83 this Sat, so make excuses
Make sure you keep away from the bug
Best wishes
Brian
