Bob,

I think your describing your still.  Good to hear grandpa's recipe is still
alive and well.

Brad,

Not sure what you mean, exactly, but the 'sensor' is a bulb filled with
ether which pressurizes a bourdon tube in the gauge. You need a good seal
around the capillary tube that comes out of the nut/plug that holds it in
the head.

List: I just installed a new oil pressure/temp gauge in the healey rebuild.
Even though I have the backing nut firmly tight the sensor itself is still
slightly loose, obviously, the best way to tell if it will leak is to fill
the
radiator but I am too much a coward to do it, I need someone to tell me that

it is perfectly normal for the sensor to be loose or am I missing
something???
Many thanks.
