<VV> Head Temps: New thoughts

For a while I kept a new GM 3532954 oil pressure sensor on hand because at 
least once a year one of our cars with 3800s would need one. Have seen read 
low, high, and leak. Even GM says (in the service manual) when in doubt, 
use a mechanical gauge.

I do have a dual CHT gauge in my Monza dash but that was more to find out 
what it runs (280F-300F at the plug on the Interstate) and to fill the "You 
were too cheap to buy a clock" hole in the dash - the AM/FM/CD in the glove 
box is a much more accurate clock.

Could not avoid completely (too many English cars in youth) but oil 
pressure gauge is on oil filter.
