initial start-up- Was the gauge new, was it a new install? If not how old was the line? Plastic/copper line? Id not let one bad time make me stray from a mech. gauge as much as it stinks it happened.
Ive had a few of the plastic line units develop a drip after many years so I just bought the line/fitting kit and all was good.
Not sure why, cuz the connections are very straight forward, but the AutoMeter mechanical oil pressure gauge in the '73 leaked at the fitting during the initial start-up and soaked the d-a-mn carpet w/ 10w40. Nothing looked wrong, but...
Anyone trust electric oil pressure gauges instead of mechanical? I always wanted mechanical for "real time" response & readings, but am now wondering if I should swap it out.
$.02 either way appreciated. Thx
