[Mgs] Another Technical Question - Never Mind

[Jack Wheeler]

 Thanks, Paul.  You are correct.  My only question now is, why do I have this white/black wire going to nowhere?  Both the oil pressure gauge and tach are working.  The white/brown wire was taken out of service (before I moved it to the oil pressure sending unit) either by a previous owner, or the mechanic who installed my electronic distributor.  I don't know much about electronic distributors, so I just had my mechanic order and install it.  Is it possible one of the two wires (white/black or white/brown) was made obsolete by installation of the electronic distributor?  Thanks.
Jack

 The electric oil gauge _would_ respond to tach pulses, but in a 
significantly different way to how it should respond.  But then the tach 
wouldn't work - and that wouldn't respond to an oil pressure sender.  It 
doesn't even begin to explain how - apparently - both oil gauge and tach 
were working normally before the alt change, and both apparently are now, 
having swapped over an apparently previously used white/back with an 
apparently previously unused white/brown.
