Mike, I don't know if it affects pressure readings to the point of pegging the gauge, but have you checked the PCV valve for proper operation? It could be other things more likely to fail but it is a simple fix if it is. Matt On Wed, Aug 31, 2016 at 5:26 PM, Mike Thomas <mbefthomas@comcast.net> wrote:
I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting a pegged reading on my oil pressure gauge. It will show normal pressure as the car starts, but soon after pegs to the right and stays there. Everything runs fine otherwise. I've swapped out the pressure sender, NAPA OP6091, and it's still pegging, so I'm suspecting the gauge. Anything else I could check?
Thanks Mike Thomas Pres., Panteras Northwest Yellow '74 #6328
