RE: IML: High oil pressure

["Ken Lang" <ken@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron,
Whenever I suspect a faulty reading from an electrical gauge, I temporarily
install a known good mechanical gauge.  This tells me what the actual
pressure (or temperature) is.  Then just learn to read your electrical gauge
accordingly.

You could have a faulty sending unit or gauge.  If all the other gauges are
functioning normally it tells me the 5v regulator is probably ok.  You may
just have a bad sending unit.

Subject: IML: High oil pressure

Hoping to tap into the infinite knowledge this collective group 
possesses I pose the following.  My 68 has always shown high oil 
pressure since I have owned it.  The gauge usually read right at the top 
of the "normal" range shown on the gauge.  But with fresh oil and a cold 
engine it is reading above the "normal" range.  Since old engines more 
normally suffer from low pressure I am inclined to believe it may be a 
faulty sendng unit or gauge.  But I would appreciate the groups thoughts 
and input. 

Regards,

Ron
