Don't know if this would pertain to the '56, but
a few weeks ago I was driving my 88 GMC van and noticed oil pressure guage was
reading very low. I changed the sending unit on engine and guage once again
shows good oil pressure. John Z

Just to confirm, on my dash the upper is battery, the lower oil pressure
warning. The wire for the oil is the white one and the amp is red, just on
the faint hope somone plugged the sockets into the wrong holders. Hope its
not too serious.

Hi
all,
Could someone re-assure me. I have neither an owner's manual
or a shop manual specific to the '56. While driving it this afternoon one
of the idiot lights came on while the car was stopped at a traffic light
with the tranmission engaged. The lights are stacked and it was
the bottom one that lit up. I hope that this is the generator
warning light, as the last time I had this experience it was with an oil
pressure light on my '66 Fury (318). Although the light would go off
with an increase in revs, the diagnosis that time was that I had spun a
bearing. Today the light went out as soon as I put the transmission
in neutral (RPMs picked up). If it's the oil pressure light I'm
going to need to increase my dossage of Prozac! All of this is
happening while I am ge! tting ready to spring for an alternator for my
daily driver after many other recent expensive repairs.
If the
generator on the Plymouth is what's causing the idiot light to come on
(only after driving for a while I might add), would anyone recommend
converting to an alternator for that car?
Thanks in advance
for your generous advice.
