Oil Pressure Gauge

Red5Ltr · 03-09-2004, 08:04 PM

I have the three gauge clust that has Oil, Temp Voltage and my oil pressure gauge line has ail in the line and not a steady stream of oil thru it and my oil pressure is reading arounf 25 which seems low. How does one go about correcting this. I want to make sure my pressure is displayed correctly. I just changes heads in my Mustang and I was wondering if this has something to do with it.

Please advise

I see the same thing...Are you 25psi after fully warming up? I'm 50 +-5 psi when cold and 25psi warm at idle, 40psi at 2k rpm.

Seems normal, I have around 120k-130k miles on the odometer.

Did you use teflon tape to seal the threads? I didn't and have some seepage on the sender side. My friend told me I should redo it with teflon to seal it.

Later,
