Re: Oil Pressure Sender
Didn't I see that the older Jeep 50 pounders are 6 volt?
Probably the same manufacturer as you have already tried, but thought I'd share what little knowledge I have.

Re: Another "greatest generation" passes
My grandfather served in the China/Burma/India theater and was flown out of China on one of those "between the mountains" flights.

Re: 1937 Ford coupe. Bill of sale

Re: White vinegar as radiator flush
Just be mindful of the other crud that may come loose.
I flushed the radiator on my '39 Buick with vinegar, then the soap from a dishwasher gel pack (they are all super-low sudsing).
Anyway -...
