Oil Pressure Gauge
I had to disconnect my oil pressure gauge feeder tube to remove part of the dash, and since I reconnected it, it doesn't work right. Is there a bleeding procedure or some other trick I've missed?

You don't need to 'bleed' the line. If it has air in it, the air will get compressed from the oil pressure, too. It is more likely that the oil left in the gauge got gummed-up from leaving it un-sealed. You may need to remove it to clean it out. It is also possible that you have some kind of blockage in the line or have it pinched off somewhere.

Have you had that problem before? I only had it out for a day and kept it clean. The gauges "bounces", but does not consistently show the pressure (yes, I'm sure I have oil pressure!) I'll take it out again and flush it - I'll let you know how that goes.
