Ok, got my voltmeter wired up finally - went to fuse #6 because I
thought that one was on with the ignition only, and it had a free male
connector.  The meter stays on even when the car is off, however.
Anybody know what fuse I can use that IS only on when the ignition is,
or if its horrible that the voltmeter is always on....  I installed a
five bar oil pressure gauge as well, and it is maxed out.  Any ideas?
The flame trap is fine - I know the maximum oil pressure is 6 bar, but
should it be above five bar while idleing?  It goes up when I give it
some gas, so it seems to be working, but.....

Oh, I just installed new rings, main and conrod bearings, and have only
driven about 4 miles, but that shouldn't affect oil pressure should
it?.... hmmmmm....

thanks in advance for an ideas/ solutions!
