Oil Pressure at idle
#21
Mine did the same exact bull $hit i put a high volume oil pump in and it didn't fix it, i did flushes i did all kinds of bull $hit and nothing would cure it it did the exact same thing yours is after a 6 months of driving it started backfiring through the intake around 65mph i said Screw it and jerked the motor and swapped in anouther one and now my pressure is perfect. i just finished putting the motor in the other day.

On mine, after initially installing my new pump, I had over 70 PSI at hot idle. Since the pump has had a chance to break in a bit, now it is 'only' around 60 at warm idle. Of course, my gauge in the dash says 40, or thereabouts, no matter what...... (even when the funny little no oil pressure lite was on before I changed the pump....)
Of course, I put in a high volume pump, for my high mileage motor..... that was the major reason I suggested it.

yea well i didnt wanna wait, but thanks for the input and tellin me what the bare minimum is i should have, i at least think i should have more than 10 with all new parts. thing runs fine and strong. just tired of chasin this prob and gettin it dinging at me, also when you disconnect the original sending unit the dash light comes on, but i was wonderign if i could ground it out to itself and make the dash light go off? and then ill just run the mechanical gauge...
