Thanks. The first thing I did was replace the oil. Nothing changed on the gauge. I'm thinking the gauge is bad or perhaps a stuck spring on the oil pump. The engine runs fine and doesn't smoke. I got it cheap enough to not care if the engine is a crate or not. The build tag shows it had a 305 originally. It has the GM Goodwrench 350 valve covers but that doesn't mean anything. I'll check the stamping number with the site you gave me.
