hello again,
its been a few months but now I'm ready to get started. I removed both ends of the tube going up to the oil pressure gauge and no oil. I was getting pressure two years ago, and then it sat for a year and now just getting around to dealing with it.
The suggestion that came back here which I want to try now was to remove a plug in front of the engine and let some oil flow down to the pump to prime it.
I can't see this plug, so do I have to remove the hood and grill and/or anything esle to get at the this plug? Fuel tank too perhaps - sorry, maybe they are even connected.
Outside of changing plugs and the ignition switch, this is my first really repair job and don't want to blow it.
thanks, cfb
