Default What oil pressure gauge?
I finally got an oil fitting for the turbo line and oil pressure gauge. What range gauge should I get? 10-100psi?

I would think 10-100 would be sufficient. Then again I don't know what pressure it's supposed to run. so :dunno:

I've never used an oil pressure gauge so I don't know either.

I got a 10-100 and I seem to run the whole gamut. Mine drops real low on idle like 20psi but it's always up to 40-60psi while driving and as high as 100 when cold. I'm assuming I got the right one. Of course I'll probably lock my engine tomarrow.

Hmm. Our jeep goes to 20 on idle and 50-60 while driving. Sounds right. I just need to know soon because I can get a brand new autometer for 30$.

Well, shoot. It's mechanical. I'll just buy an electrical I guess and try to sell the mechanical. What goes wrong with the mechanical ones anyway?

I think you have to run an oil line into the cabin to the gage itself. If it's not hooked up right then you have hot oil spraying around inside. I didn't even think about mechanical vs electric damn
