Yes, it was the oil pressure sending unit, a $4 part that screws in the case
under the diistributor. He bought a new one from Jack. Proble, solved

okay, this is all very familiar, really. at the classic, someone asked me
about an oil leak. all over the engine compartment, thought to be from the
pully area on a type I motor. the guy was from st louis and did not want to
go back with the thing leaking oil that bad. for some reason, he thought he
had a sand seal on the engine. he asked could it be changed without pulling
the engine and get him back to st louis. feelers went out. dick wakefield
said he had done it and could help. dick went and looked and determined
that is was not the sand seal pulley that was throwing oil but from
something else. did not find out what the "other" thing was. point is...guy
from st lois thought the same thing denis is decribing, maybe and some else
looked and said no it's not the pulley but some thing else. what did dick
see that said, no, it's not blowing oil from behind the pulley, it's
something else? i was too busy to find out the details. terry, got any
ideas? sound similar to denis' problem. just wondering, could be totally
wrong.

The question was "is there a seal?" Chuck kept talking about my sand seal.
Actually John was right: just the slinger ring.
Don't be fanning the flames of a mud fight with me and Chuck, I got enough
trouble in my family as it is.

After this discussion and a call to an expert I have deduced that there is
no seal between the slinger ring and the crank pulley. I have a sand seal
there but it is, maybe, 8 years old and they can get a groove cut in them or
can start spinning with shaft and needs to be replaced. Apparently a real
seal is "machined" in, which I am certain mine is not.
As Robb said my breather may be involved or I ran too much oil or about a
hundred other reasons.
As soon as the freakin' rail stops, we have had more than 10" in four days,
and I clean up the flood damage, I will get at Murray's engine and find out
what is going on.
