Hello,
perhaps someone could tell me what has occured here. 1972 225 cu. in.
The car has about 125k on it and runs really well. Recently after sustained highway driving, when coming to a stop, i would get a flicker on the oil pressure light. At times the light would stay lit for what would seem like too long, at which time I would put the trans in nuetral, rev it slightly, and the light would go out.
I changed the oil pump and this has not re-occured again.
Question 1, do the pumps go bad with such low milage.?
Question2, Could i have caused significant damage, and shortened the life of this engine? Any one heard of this before?
Thanks.

A couple of ideas here; How well maintained was this engine over the past 30-some years; things like oil changes, etc.? Could be a bad sending unit. Has the engine been flooded recently? Bad fuel pump dumping fuel into the crank case(diluting the oil)? Oil level correct?

Hi
from what i know the car was well maintained with regular oil changes
lubes and so on.i change the oil regularly, but i am not aware of bad fuel pump,how would i be able to tell?
thanks

sounds like you would get some more read on this post if it were in the engine section.

Greg
