Re: engine oil priming... dont do this!

I did something similar once, I had stripped everything off my 69, inside and out in prep for a paint job. I left only what was needed to drive it to the shop, I even removed the gauge cluster. Got in and headed down the road when I felt my crotch getting warm, looked down to see oil shooting out of the dash, I forgot to plug the line for my oil pressure gauge. Had to drive three miles to a parts store on the way so I could buy a plug then another 15 to get to the paint shop. Walking around with an oil soaked crotch on a hot day really sucks!
