I installed a (REX-A-CO) gauge a couple weeks ago. Installed per instructions from an earlier post. Gauge seems to work just fine. About 7# pressure when you first start up on a slight rev, but as oil gets warmer it goes down to just above readable when cruising at about 45mph. Is this about...

I learned something new today, don't be so gullible. Being a new member, I read all that may pertain to me now or in the future. I must say you reeled me in big time! Thanks again for a good laugh, and all the past wonderful good information.

Thanks again fellas for all the great advice. I HAVE OPTIONS NOW, and a better understanding before I start the project. Have a small HONEY DUE list I must undertake before returning to the "A". I worked all winter replacing all the brake parts, hubs, service rods, shoes and now have great...

I purchased a oil pressure gauge, and copper tubing (didn't like the plastic tubing that came with the kit). The directions say run line through TERMINAL BLOCK. This phrase puzzles me! The picture shows the line heading towards the radiator after being hooked to the fitting on the block instead...
