    Followup: the oil pressure sender was bad. Bench testing with air compressor tool pressure and an ohm meter showed that it "opened up" at low pressure, resulting in pegged dash gauge. Replaced sender and dash needle now comparable to mechanical pressure gauge. I'm working through a list of...

    Dang! Haynes Repair Manual doesn't cover diesel. Neither does Kevin Whipps' restoration book. Guess I'll return those and try to find something else. Meanwhile, maybe next week I can tear into it and try puzzling things out.
