After finally getting a new ignition system working, I'm back to a previous oil pressure issue. I replaced the sending unit but still get the same reading of about 70lbs. Even when cranking the motor while starting it after sitting for a few weeks the gage climbed immediately, then went up to about 45 once the motor started and within a minute was up at 70lbs where it would stay. Could it be the gage? Low oil pressure I can understand. There are no obvious signs of distress with the motor. It doesn't burn oil. no blue smoke, no new leaks. Just a small leak at the front bearing seal that's been there for a long time. Are there any tests I can run? Thank you

Try putting a Separate Ground on the Oil Pressure Gauge.
