[DeTomaso] Oil Pressure Gauges

[B Hower]

I do not believe my electrical and mechanical gauges read that much difference. I will have to take photos to compare. Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

That's standard. We have an Italian gauge and a U.S. sender. I once pulled NINE different senders off the shelf and added them one at a time to our Pantera. The gauge showed 7 different pressures, all lower than a mechanical gauge teed into the same port as the electric sender. I left the mechanical gauge hooked up for when I really want to know the oil pressure, I use the electric gauge to tell me if the engine is running....

When going through 5332's engine I replaced the oil pressure sender
  with a
sender from NAPA - their part OP6091.  With the new sender,
  which their
parts book listed for my '73 Pantera, it appears the oil
  pressure gauge
reads pretty much half what the actual pressure is.  Any
  comments from the
folks who know about such things?


  I did verify a good ground at the
sender, and the engine has two new
  ground straps.  Voltage is around 14 to
14.5.
