Good article...could have saved me several grand.  A note about the oil
pressure sender, when it blows out of the side of the motor, no alarm will
sound because it needs the ground from the nipple.  The way to avoid this
is to get a sender that has TWO terminals and ground the ground to the
motor somewhere, that way, when your sender blows out of the side of the
motor, you'll get an alarm (if it's hooked up)...mine was also not hooked
up but wouldn't have worked anyway...
