[TR] TR6 Oil Pressure Switch

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

Ah yes! And finding one that can withstand pressure pulses along with high pressure and also maintaining the pre-set low pressure limit can be a challenge. I had a Deere 435 with the Detroit Diesel 2-53 and most switches in the NAPA catalog never seemed to last.

My ‘74 TR6 keeps ‘anointing’ my driveway… Sigh… I thought at first, that the oil pan gasket was leaking but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The oil pressure switch however (Moss 760-200, 3-lead switch), is pretty wet with oil, now that I’ve returned from a short, 10-mile drive. Not to sound too terribly naive but, do oil pressure switches leak/give up the ghost like that? Anyone else have that problem?
