Default Re: Is oil pressure gauge really needed?

One way it look at it is ..... did one ever "experiences" a broken Model A oil pump?:

For just a very slight few of us, having a Model A oil pressure gauge may make about as much sense as a young bride wearing underwear under her short white wedding dress ..... on her wedding night ...... after eating a double helping of beans for lunch.

My oil pump broke as a teenager, right after I paid $25.00 for my Model A, when I was making the minimum wages of $1.00 an hour that summer while still in high school.

My only warning was No.1 connecting rod sounded like a blacksmith shop ..... and I was grounded and could not afford costly engine repairs right away.

In my opinion, think about the above bride's second marriage, after eating a double helping of beans for lunch, wearing underwear will "depend", (no pun intended), on what happened on her first wedding night.

Whether right or wrong, it does not make sense to argue ..... many of life's opinions "depends" on past experience.
