I have not checked the sender yet. Today I plan to change the oil and go for another drive and see if the light still flickers. How do I test the sender?


Where the wire goes to the oil pressure sender, is the plastic part of the sender loose in the metal part? If so , it will leak, and should be replaced.
I see oil in the area below the sender, which could be the sender leaking, and could be the oil cooler seals leaking.

The distributor needs to be matched to the carburetor when you are using a vacuum only advance distributor. So, we need to know exactly what carburetor you are using. The Solex number is on the left hand side of the unit.
