- 1973 Convertible, Q code, 4 speed, 3.25, A/C, P/S
73, 351 4V Q Code, 4 Speed, factory gauge cluster in center console (including oil pressure)
My oil pressure today was really low at idle (near the "L" on the factory gauge). At 2,000 RPM it was in the lower 3rd of the safe range.
Oil level is fine. I changed it in the Spring - and maybe put 500 miles on it. I used 10W-40 dino juice.
I'm hoping this is a gauge or sending unit issue. Any thoughts about how I can test either? I'm happy to buy a new sending unit, just wouldn't mind knowing if the one in the car is indeed bad.
Thoughts? Or should I just buy a new sending unit?
