Bonnie and Clyde is getting close. Haven't fired the rebuilt 390 yet, but I am happy to report I was able to apply DC power to all electrical circuits and no smoke was let out of anything! All lights, foglamps, markers, signals, etc work, except for the oil pressure idiot light....
Ground the lead at the sender and nothing. Change the bulb with the alt bulb and it works fine. It's my understanding that the output of the voltage regulator goes directly to the bulb and the sending unit acts a ground switch: open with pressure, closed with no pressure. Is this correct? Should I have ~ 5v at the bulb and end of the lead (when not connected)?
Thanks!

PS: I'll get some pictures posted soon.
