Oil Pressure droppes

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Could be the sending unit.  Is the oil pressure healthy during higher engine 
speeds?  Now that the hotter weather is here, the oil gets warmer (which is a 
good thing actually) and may cause a reduction in idle oil pressure.  If you 
think the oil pressure is lower than normal for all conditions, you may want to 
install a mechanical gage, so you know exactly what the pressure is.  They are 
under $20.  It may be a little tough to remove the stock sending unit, but look 
into the recent discussion in the archieves about a socket wrench that can be 
used for that (I think its 9/16s).  This sending unit is at the very back of 
the engine, behind the intake manifold. If you want the stock sending unit to 
be operable, install a "T" fitting, so that you can install both the little 
pipe for the mechanical gage and the stock bell like looking sending unit.
