Thanks for the help.To explain further,I had done nothing to the car before the oil gauge went south on me.I am pretty much toward the end of a 4 year resto on the car.It's garaged and has been driveable for almost a year,but has not been driven (registration,insurance,lights not installed yet,etc).But I do run the motor weekly.The oil pressure gauge has always read normal.Last week while I was running the motor and watching the gauges,the oil gauge jumped to 80+ lbs.I did check the ground resistance with engine off as suggested and got less than 2 ohms.It must be (I hope) that the new sender is also bad...I'm taking it back to Classic Industries tomorrow for a swap.I'll let you guys know what happens.
