Recently, I performed an oil change on a 289 and replaced it with 10W-30. On a cold start, the oil pressure needle sits in the lower third of the gauge. After maybe an hour of casual street driving, the needle falls very low, as though there's no pressure at all. I'm wondering if the viscosity...

Greetings. I have a 65 coupe with a 200ci 6 cylinder. When i bought the car, it had about 80PSI of oil pressure, but over time it went down to 40PSI and now its even worse. Today as I was driving it around, when it was cold it started at 40PSI then when it got slightly warm, when accelerating it...

I've recently hit a snag and wanted to know a bit more before tearing into the engine. Background: I picked up a 1966 Mustang with a sight-unseen rebuild of a 200 I6. It runs great with good oil pressure (or so I think). I was prepping the car for a trip from Florida to Alaska and out of pure...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum, but glad to be here. I have recently been noticing that my oil pressure drops down very low when idling. But when moving at high speeds, particularly above 40mph the oil pressure gauge needle goes back to the middle. I am currently running Valvoline...

I just built a 408 stroker and my oil pressure flutters very quickly once it warms up. It goes from 38-44 very quickly. When cold it stays at 65. I’ve never had a fluttering problem before and was woundering what it could be or if it’s a concern. When cruising 1500-2000rpms oil pressure stays at...

I am looking to install a three gauge cluster on my 65 mustang. It is the 3 speed 200 ci I6 coupe. Mainly to keep a close eye on oil pressure and temperature. Wanted to see if i should go mechanical or electrical and if anyone could link installation instructions that would be much appreciated...
