Help Oil Pressure Sucks!!

87TtopMan · 09-09-2006, 10:43 AM

I just changed my Control Mod unit on the Dist. and now my oil pressure is insanely low, How can i check it another way to make sure its not the orginal tach messed up. The oil pressure was low half to high half of the tach before now its almost 0 to low half. Its worring me.

thanks

It has nothing to do with the new module. The factory electrical gauges suck. I would get a good mechanical oil pressure gauge to check for sure where it's at.

The nice thing is it looks 100% better then the one that was in it cause It was rusted to hell and back.
