Finally got my 71 Autostick home

I turned the key when I got home from church and the oil light came
on. I drove it in the back yard twice and then out it under the
carport and let it idle for 30 minutes. No problems but when I turned
it off no Oil light. I look the wire loose and touched it to so metal
and still nothing. Reconnected it and still nothing.

This car has a mind of it's own.

I turned my connector around that the wire is attached to and the
light came on. I'm going to let it run for a while and then turn it
off to see if it is still working.

Most of the time when I run the engine from a while and turn it off
the oil light will not come on when I turn the key on. But jiggling
the wire it comes on. When I turn it off even if it does come back on
with out jiggling the wire Only the generator wire shows when I turn
it off is this normal?

Thanks Steven

The GEN light will come on for a few seconds with the key off,
since the generator is still producing voltage until the engine spins
down.

The OIL light isn't powered by the gen, so it won't light with key off.

Thanks for the Info :-) Drove it to a local restraunt and then to
church and back. No problems.

Thanks Steven
