oil pressure
I just changed my oil guage (factory) to a better looking one.
Once i made the change i noticed that when i brake the pressure goes way done. I mean below the L mark. I know the oil goes toward the front of the oil pan when i do so but below L, What?? also, i put a quart in it tonight - i needed it- and i noticed that the PSI is Dead Center at 60 MPH. If i take it above 64 or so, the pressure goes down. Now i know that aint right. What's going on here guys?? Should i put the other guage in it and see if i've got the same thing? sswj

Did you put in an 80 lb gauge where as before you had a 60 lb gauge? Is your oil pump getting weak or screen is clogged? Randy

The stock one should be near the middle at idle, then go up with high RPM.
