Todd, glad to hear you got it back together with no damage. A few months back, I started up the 352 in my 63 Gal and the oil light wouldn't go out. I didn't hear any abnormal engine noise, so let it idle a minute or two. Still no bad noises, so I revved her a little and saw the oil light flicker. I figured it must be the sender, and I didnt have a separate gage to check it. So I shut it off and ordered a new sender from RockAuto. Got the sender, installed it and presto! Oil light goes out. I still can't believe how easy that one was...
