Reply to "Pantera L Oil pressure gauge strange reading"

Neil, typically when you get weird gauge readings, its the central ground stud under the dash. This mounts about 6 separate ground wires and if a leaky windshield or condensation get under there, corrosion does strange things to the gauges (and sometimes to other electrical devices). Access is a little easier if you pull the gauge panel out of the way. Untighten the nut, wire brush everything and re-tighten but don't break it! FYI- what the oil p. gauge reads and what the engine is actually pumping are almost always different. I use the dash gauge to tell me if I have ANY oil pressure, and a mechanical gauge mounted on a tee fitting directly on the engine to tell me how much pressure I actually have.
