Glad it wasn't something more serious. BTW, what brand of oil pressure gauge was it? Was it a brand you'd had good luck with before?

I ask because I'm about ready to put a mechanical oil pressure gauge in my T-Bird. My mechanical oil pressure gauges used to leak now and then 40 years ago, but I haven't had that problem with the last several I've put in. I figure I'm slightly more competent installing them nowadays, but who knows?
