Sharing some oil gauge pics

[Redog]

Both pics taken on a fully warmed up engine

First pic, in drive, foot on brake, 775 RPM's dead on 20 psi :D

Double post

[hok666]

is 20 PSI good? :P I dont know that's why I ask...

Im still learning...

I think I will follow your build and base mine on yours sorta thing:P

It's plenty more than minimum spec.


Inspect the overall oil pressure, the oil pressure switch, and for noisy lifters. Ensure that the engine is at operating temperature before inspecting the oil pressure. The oil pressure should be approximately 414 kPa (60 psi) at 1,850 RPM using 5W-30 engine oil.

Oil Pressure - Warm - 103 kPa (15 psi) @ 1100 RPM

Highest I got mine upto was 54 on Friday night

[scotty11811]

how do you install that looking to get one also

[Redog]

"T" the fitting on the block, and run the wire thru the steering groment in the firewall. Run electrical thru the radio wiring (lighting and power) and ground to a good ground

Make sure everything is fused.

I ran everything to the same wire and on the same fuse. This way if one goes, they all go, and it's an easy fix. Althought my WB A/F gauge is on it's own line

you dont need a T fitting, you can just remove the stock one and leave the connector hanging, you wont throw any codes.

Could you post some pictures of how you did this? I just picked up a pillar pod and would like to see where to go with my wires etc... I learn by seeing rather than reading, some how it makes more sense to me!!
Thanks

Well it's a killer to take out my radio since I have 2 busses behind it and it's a PIA to fix it. The "T" fitting is right above the starter, that I will take pics of ;)

[tw0123]

fair enough about the behind the radio pix's... completely understandable!! I appreciate the engine shots though, thanks Ken

I'm going under the car over the weekend if it doesn't rain. I'm installing a hitch for my bike :D Plus I forgot to put the air dam back in the front, so I'll just take pics when I put it back in place ;)
