factory oil gague?

If your motor isn't stock and your oil gauge reads H when you hit the gas and comes down to 3/4 when you idle. Can you adjust these things?
Is this normal?

Oil pressure is a function of how hard the oil pump has to work to push the oil past a given clearance-such as the distance between the bearing surface and the surface of the journal-hense the faster the pump turns the more pressure it takes to force the higher volume of oil past the two surfaces. High speed=high pressure, low speed=lower pressure. Normal.

mine reads the same thing. It's normal.

You need to get an 80 lb oil pressure gauge to replace your stock 60 lb. I would assume your motor has a high volume oil pump and that is why it is peggin the gauge.My truck when warming up on fast idle will push 75 lb of pressure until I kick the idle down, but I never peg the gauge.

Thats the money there! Do the 80lb gauge come in a stock look. Or should I be planning a aftermarket set of gauges.
My temp isn't working
the oil pegs out
the amp gague works but I'd rather a volt one.
Vaccum works good.

What temp oil Batt gauges fit right in the stock 7 gague bezel?
with a little work i mean. Hole size wise i guess i mean.
