Two of the gauges on my 63 TR4 are acting up. The first is the oil pressure gauge which is the mechanical type. The readings seem to be accurate but the needle quivers or vibrates like crazy. It seem

Figured out part of the speedometer/cruise control issue. I had a clamp on the cable about six inches from sender on the Speedo side. Apparently I had it to tight. With the speedometer cable disconne

Sure sounds like the oil pressue guage has something loose inside. But, before I would pull it out for repairs I would first remove the pressue adjusting ball & Spring from the filter unit and make s

I sincerely hope this is not the problem : I've seen that with an engine that had spun a bearing. FWIW, my problem was caused by the odo & trip meter mechanisms binding, which put a periodic load on

Bill, I hadn't thought about the oil pressure relief spring. In this case it would be easier for me to swap gauges which I do have a spare! I'll probably swap this weekend to see what happens. Thanks

I certainly hope a spun bearing is not the problem either! It's a new engine, probably no more than 1500 miles on it so far. Runs great with no noises (yet). Not to say the rest of the car doesn't ma

You might check to see if the line between the engine and the gauge is full of oil or not. If you have even the slightest leak near the gauge the air will get displaced with oil and then the gauge wi

Bob, that interesting and makes sense. If there is a leak it's not an obvious one. I wonder if there is a procedure for bleeding the air out of the line without making a mess in the cockpit. Thanks,
