Questions: NON-80 lb oil pressure gauge and speed-warning dash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was looking at the really nice dash that PT's70CST has for sale, but didn't want to fod his sale thread - figured it'd be better to ask a question here and others might benefit.

I see a lot of hub-bub about the 80 psi oil pressure gage - what is the max pressure reading on the "stock" non-80 psi gage?

What exactly is the "speed-warning" feature and how does it work?

Thanks!

60 PSI.

I may be wrong but I think the speed warning is adjusted like a clock hand to makes a noise when the pre-set speed is reached.

Yep!

Here is the one out of my 71.
I installed speed warning, Tach, Clock in mine.
I have it out of the truck and resting in a nice lined box as of now.
I installed all GPS Speed Hut guages in it back this summer.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
